What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values research and teaching excellence.

I am Dr. Juan Manuel García-Islas, an experienced academic with a PhD in Mathematical Physics from the University of Nottingham. My research primarily focuses on quantum gravity and topology, and I have contributed significantly to the field through various publications in reputable journals. Over the years, I have held several academic positions, including Associate Professor at UNAM, where I taught advanced courses in mathematics and physics.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of complex mathematical concepts among my students. I have supervised numerous theses and have been actively involved in organizing conferences and seminars to promote research in mathematical physics. My work has been recognized with several academic distinctions, including full tuition scholarships and research awards.
