David Aulicino

David Aulicino is an Associate Professor at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center (CUNY). His research focuses on the intersection of Geometry and Dynamical Systems, particularly translation surfaces, k-differentials, meromorphic differentials, and SL₂(R) orbit closures. He has organized the Complex Analysis and Dynamics Seminar at the Graduate Center.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Mathematics (2012), University of Maryland - College Park
• M.A. in Mathematics (2009), University of Maryland - College Park
• B.A. in Mathematics (2005), Yale University

His recent work includes classifying trajectories on Platonic solids, studying affine invariant submanifolds with degenerate Lyapunov exponents, and exploring Siegel-Veech constants for cyclic covers. Articles span 2013-2024, with keywords like Teichmüller dynamics, moduli spaces, and flat geometry.

Scientific Awards:

• NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (2012-2016)
• Simons Foundation Collaboration Grant 853471 (2021-2026)
