Santiago Molina Blanco

Santiago Molina Blanco is an academic affiliated with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), specifically within the Department of Applied Mathematics IV. His primary research interests span Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Arithmetic Geometry, with a focus on topics like p-adic L-functions, Heegner points, Shimura curves, and Galois representations. He has contributed to over 20 academic activities, including 11 indexed journal articles, 6 competitive R&D projects, and multiple conference presentations. His work often involves collaborations with leading researchers in the field, such as Victor Rotger and Xavier Guitart.

His research has been supported by grants like the Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica and the Horizon 2020 program. Notable projects include studying exceptional zeros of p-adic L-functions and exploring the arithmetic of modular abelian varieties. Molina holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0001-9420-2807) and can be reached at santiago.molina@upc.edu.

Key contributions include:

• Development of p-adic L-functions and their applications in number theory.
• Investigations into the reduction of Heegner points and their implications for arithmetic geometry.
• Work on equations of Shimura curves and their connections to automorphic forms.

He is an active member of the STNB - Seminari de Teoria de Nombres de Barcelona research group and has advised doctoral research, though no named students are listed. His recent publications (2019–2021) emphasize p-adic methods and their role in understanding arithmetic structures.
