Igor Zelenko

Professor Igor Zelenko is a faculty member at Texas A&M University, specializing in differential geometry, control theory, and sub-Riemannian geometry. His research focuses on geometric structures such as CR manifolds, nonholonomic systems, and symplectic geometry. His work often involves analyzing invariants, symmetries, and geometric properties of distributions and metrics. He has contributed to topics like Jacobi equations, Weyl-type theorems, and the geometry of vector fields in Lagrange Grassmannians.

Research Interests: His primary areas of research include differential geometry, sub-Riemannian geometry, control theory, and the study of geometric structures on manifolds. He explores concepts such as CR structures, nonholonomic constraints, and the interplay between algebraic invariants and geometric configurations.

Publications: Zelenko’s work spans over three decades, with a focus on geometric analysis, including studies on symmetries of distributions, projective rigidity, and applications of algebraic methods to geometric problems. His articles address topics such as the geometry of rank 2 distributions, Weyl’s theorems, and the canonical forms of geometric objects.
