Kostiantyn Drach works in the fields of dynamical systems, geometric inequalities, and topological data analysis. He is currently a postdoc at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria. Starting in September, Kostya will be an assistant professor at the Universitat de Barcelona in Spain.

Kostya is a native of Kharkiv. After graduating from the Kharkiv Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 27, he obtained his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees from the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, earning many distinctions on the way.

I received my Ph.D. in 1995 from Boston University under the supervision of Robert L. Devaney. I am now a full professor at Universitat de Barcelona and the co-leader of the research group Holodyn, working in complex dynamical systems. I was awarded an Icrea Academia award in 2021 and a Chern Professorship at MSRI (Berkeley) in 2022. I supervised five Ph.D. students and several postdoctoral fellows. Jointly with Bodil Branner (DTU Denmark) I am the author of the book “Quasiconformal Surgery in Holomorphic Dynamics”, Cambridge University Press (2014). I have published over 50 papers in leading journals including Inventiones Mathematicae, Advances in Mathematics or Transactions of the AMS.

My main interest is the understanding of the global behaviour of dynamical systems. I have been working on differential equations (autonomous or not) and on discrete dynamical systems, with special emphasis on difference equations. In my research, apart from the general theory of dynamical systems, I use techniques of analysis, geometry, algebra, algebraic geometry, numerical analysis and simulation.

I have published more than 100 papers collaborating with 45 researches around the world. Together with some of them I have solved several conjectures:  the Markus-Yamabe Conjecture about global asymptotic stability of differential equations, open since 1960; the Composition Conjecture  appearing in the study of  Abel equations; and a conjecture of E. C. Zeeman about the existence of  rational 9-periodic points  for the Lyness recurrence. I also have contributed  to the  qualitative theory of planar differential equations, with my results on the number of limit cycles and the period function.

Recently, my joint paper, A. Cima, A. Gasull and V. Mañosas, Basin of attraction of triangular maps with applications, has received the prize to the best paper published in Journal of Difference Equations and its Applications during 2014.

Marcel Guàrdia is Associate Professor at the Universitat de Barcelona and affiliated at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica. He is the Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting grant Haminstab and he has been distinguished with an ICREA Academia Prize in 2018. He is also the Scientific Director of the Maria de Maeztu award of the  Centre de Recerca Matemàtica.

His research is (mostly) focused on the analysis of invariant objects and unstable behaviors in Hamiltonian systems of finite or infinite dimension (including Partial Differential Equations) and its applications to Celestial Mechanics.

Àlex Haro is an assistant professor at the Departament de Matemàtiques i Informàtica de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB), where he is the coordinator of the PhD program in Mathematics and Computer Science.

He did his thesis (October 1998) under the supervision of professor Carles Simó. Funded by the Fulbright program, he did a postdoctoral stay at the University of Texas at Austin, where he started a fruitful collaboration with professor Rafael de la Llave, now at Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta). He got a permanent position at UB in July 2001. He was a member of the program “Hamiltonian systems, from topology to applications through analysis” at MSRI (Berkeley), during the second half of 2018.

His work with Jordi-Lluís Figueras and Alejandro Luque on computer-assisted proofs in KAM theory was awarded two international prizes: The Barcelona Dynamical Systems Prize (2017) and the R.E. Moore Prize for Applications of Interval Analysis (2018).

Early works, under the supervision of Ernest Fontich, dealt about the problem of abundance of Arnold difussion in the context of analytic Hamiltonian systems. Besides proving the density of systems with exhibiting such behaviour, several tools were developed that have been used afterwards by several authors.

Related to the problem of instability, the splitting of separatrices has also been studied, both for area preserving maps and Hamiltonian systems of higher dimension.

As a consequence of these last developments, recently a prove has been found of the existence of oscillatory motions in the restricted planar circular three body problem for all values of the mass paramenter, closing a long standing problem.

Tere M-Seara is full professor at the Dpt. de matemàtiques of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. She is the leader of the UPC Dynamical Systems group, formed by more than 20 researchers working on theoretical and computer aspects of finite and infinite Dynamical Systems, with focus on Celestial Mechanics and mathematical Neuroscience. She has supervised 8 PhD. students. In 2015, she received the first Barcelona Dynamical Systems Prize and in the fall of 2018 she hold an Eisenbud Professorship (Simons Foundation) at MSRI (U. Berkeley).

She belongs to the editorial board of Nonlinearity, SIADS, NOdea; SEMA-SIMAI Springer series  and has published about 60 papers including articles in the journals: Adv. Math., Comm. Math. Phys, Comm. Pure and Applied Math., Inventiones Mathematicae, J. of Differential Equations, J. of Nonlinear Science, Memoirs of the A.M.S.

Tere M-Seara works in Dynamical Systems, in analytical tools to study their global dynamics. 
Her works developed two tools which have been widely used in the area of Arnold Diffusion: the study of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds and the theory of the “scatering map”.

She also works in a rigourous approach to singular perturbation theory: developing methods which allow to measure exponentially small phenomena which are relevant in the study of the global dynamics of a system like the exponentially small splitting of separatrices, one of the main phenomena producing chaos.
