Alexandre Anahory

Alexandre Anahory is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at IE University, Spain. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (2021) and previously completed a B.Sc. in Physics (2014) and M.Sc. in Mathematics (2016) at the University of Lisbon. His research bridges mathematics, physics, and engineering, focusing on geometric mechanics, optimal control, and nonholonomic systems. He has contributed to top-tier journals like Proceedings of the Royal Society A and Numerische Mathematik, and organized conferences such as the XXX International Fall Workshop on Geometry and Physics.

Key research interests include:

• Nonholonomic systems and virtual constraints
• Geometric control theory and robotics applications
• Numerical simulation of mechanical systems
• Optimal control with obstacle avoidance

His recent publications (2023–2025) emphasize geometric approaches to control systems, with notable work on Hamiltonization of mechanical systems, contact geometry in dissipative systems, and numerical methods for Riemannian manifolds. He actively participates in STEM outreach activities like the European Researchers’ Night.
