Research

Worth is not always determined by age

After brilliantly defending his thesis in July 2023 under the supervision of Alfred Peris and Sophie Grivaux, Antoni López-Martínez, a young Spanish mathematician, secured, a year later and in quick succession, a position of FNRS Postdoctoral Researcher in our research unit and a permanent position at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain.

In June 2024, Antoni López-Martínez was awarded a Postdoctoral researcher position by the F.R.S-FNRS to continue, under the supervision of Quentin Menet, his research on recurrence, hypercyclicity, and chaos in Linear Dynamics. However, this brilliant young mathematician also succeeded in securing a permanent position as Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia  in Spain from September 2024. It is thus a missed opportunity for our research unit, but a rightful recognition of the value of Antoni’s research work. Moreover, if we look on the bright side, this further strengthens the ties that bind our research unit to the Department of Applied Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Valencia for many years to come.
