Robert Cardona is an assistant professor at the Universitat de Barcelona. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2021 and was awarded the Vicent Caselles prize from the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society. His research interests are mostly geometry, topology, and dynamical systems—his work centers on contact/symplectic topology, Hamiltonian dynamics, geometric hydrodynamics, and their interaction.
