Welcome !

The research focus of our group is on Poisson Geometry and related topics, particularly Lie Groupoids, Lie Algebroids and Dirac structures.

In particular, we are interested in understanding the local structures of these geometries as well as implement more global techniques to obtain invariants for Poisson geometry also in order to understand their effects in symplectic geometry or Lie theory. To accomplish these we often use a plethora of methods from analysis, algebra, algebraic topology and, of course, differential geometry.
