Spectral Theory and Mathematical Physics

Pablo Miranda is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Chile. He graduated from the University of Chile (2011) and did postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Physics, Catholic University of Chile and at the Mittag-Leffler Institute. His current research interests include magnetic Schrödinger operators, resonances in quantum systems and spectral shift function theory. Nicolas Popoff is an Assistant Professor at the Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux, France. He got his PhD in 2012 from the University of Rennes 1, France, under the supervision of Virginie Bonnaillie-Noël and Monique Dauge. He held a teaching position at the University of Rennes and did postdoc studies with the Quantum Dynamics and Spectral Analysis team at the Center of Theoretical Physics of the University of Aix-Marseille. His research interests include spectral theory, PDE, mathematical physics and numerical analysis. Georgi Raikov obtained his PhD in Mathematical Physics at Leningrad (St. Petersburg) State University, Russia, in 1986, and a higher doctoral degree D.Sc. in Mathematics in 1992 at the Bulgarian Academy of Science where he worked in the period 1987-2000. Since 2001 Georgi Raikov has been working in Chile, and at the moment he is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics of the Catholic University of Chile. His research areas are analysis, partial differential equations, mathematical physics, spectral and scattering theory of self-adjoint operators.
