Cristina Stoica

Cristina Stoica is a Professor and Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Mathematics at Wilfrid Laurier University. She specializes in geometric mechanics, dynamical systems, and the mathematics of classical mechanics, particularly focusing on n-body problems and symmetry analysis. Her research explores topics such as logarithmic potentials, central configurations, and regularization techniques in celestial mechanics.

Dr. Stoica's work integrates theoretical and applied mathematics, with contributions to understanding equilibria, stability, and periodic orbits in complex dynamical systems. She has published extensively on Hamiltonian systems, symmetry reduction, and the interplay between geometry and dynamics. Her research also extends to functional data analysis and applications in physics.

Her academic roles include mentoring students in graduate and undergraduate research projects, with a focus on celestial mechanics and dynamical systems. She contributes to the academic community through editorial work and conference participation, advancing the field's theoretical foundations and practical applications.

Key research trends in her publications include the study of N-body problem configurations, logarithmic gravitational interactions, and the application of geometric methods to analyze stability and symmetry in systems. Her work bridges fundamental mathematics with applied problems in physics and engineering.
