Pedro Ontaneda
Distinguished Professor
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Background
Professor Pedro Ontaneda’s general research interest is the geometry and topology of aspherical spaces. Ontaneda has done work in the study of the relationship between exotic structures and (negative, non-positive) curvature, and its applications to the limitations of PDE methods in geometry. Some of his other areas of interest include geometric group theory, K-theory, mechanics.
