  • Natalia Castellana

    Natalia Castellana

    • Associate Professor at the UAB since 2010. She served as an EPSRC postdoc at Aberdeen University from 2000 to 2001, and she was a visiting professor at Purdue University in 2005.
    • Throughout her career, she has actively participated in numerous research programs and institutions, including the Mittag-Leffler Institute in 2006 and 2022, the Bernouilli Centre in 2005, the Max-Planck Institut für Mathematik in 2001 and 2022, the Fields Institute in 2020, the Banff International Research Centre in 2022, the Haussdorff Institute in 2022, ICTS Bangalore in 2023, as well as several workshops at the Matematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach. In 2012, she assumed the role of Coordinator for the Spanish Topology Network.
    • Her research primarily focuses on the exploration of homotopy properties within p-completed classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and fusion systems. She achieves this through the utilization of p-local group information, with a particular emphasis on maps between p-completed classifying spaces
