معرفی
Juan A. Valiente Kroon is Professor in Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics and Director of Research at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London. He heads the Geometry and Analysis research group and is a key member of the Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation. He obtained his PhD from the University of London in 2000 and held postdoctoral positions at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and University of Vienna before joining QMUL as an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow.
His research specializes in mathematical relativity, focusing on:
- Conformal methods for analyzing Einstein's field equations
- Spinorial techniques in spacetime geometry
- Asymptotic properties of gravitational fields
- Numerical and computer algebra approaches to relativity
- Black hole initial data and stability analysis
Analysis of his 50+ publications shows consistent focus on spacetime asymptotics, black hole characterization, and conformal methods. Recent works demonstrate advanced applications to Kerr spacetime, null infinity structures, and cosmological stability using geometric PDE theory and innovative asymptotic expansions.
Professor Valiente Kroon currently supervises five PhD students and has secured significant research funding:
- EPSRC grant: Geometric scattering methods for conformal Einstein equations (£80,353; 2023-2024)
- Royal Society grant: Intl. exchange with Chinese Academy of Sciences (£12,000; 2025-2026)
- STFC Astronomy Research grants (£1.6M+; 2020-2027)
- Gravity Theory Trust award for gravitational memory research (£10,750; 2023)
He leads the Geometry and Analysis research group and collaborates extensively through the Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation, teaching advanced courses in PDEs and general relativity.
