Maria Victoria Otero Espinar

Maria Victoria Otero Espinar is a full Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), Spain. She holds a PhD in Mathematics from USC (1992), focusing on Discrete Dynamic Systems under supervision by Charles Tresser and Fernando Costal. She is affiliated with the Department of Statistics, Mathematical Analysis and Optimization within the Faculty of Mathematics and the Galician Mathematical Research and Technology Center (CITMAga). Her research primarily spans Differential Equations, Dynamic Systems, and Biomathematics with notable contributions to nonlinear dynamics and mathematical modeling in ecological and biological contexts.

Prof. Otero Espinar has held visiting positions at IBM Research (1989) and institutions like the University of Nice, Cambridge’s King’s College, and Warwick. She actively engages in scientific dissemination, leadership roles (e.g., RSME President), and educational administration at USC. Her academic contributions include over 45 peer-reviewed articles, with impactful work on Sobolev spaces on time scales, predator-prey models, and bifurcation theory.

Her editorial roles in journals and committee memberships highlight her influence in academic governance. Despite her prolific career, no specific scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the texts, though her leadership roles reflect professional recognition.
