Yiannis Loizides

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at George Mason University. My research interests are symplectic/Poisson geometry, moduli spaces, loop groups, index theory and noncommutative geometry (in the sense of Alain Connes).

GMU students interested in hearing more about possible research topics are welcome to reach out. The broad subject areas involved are: differential geometry, functional analysis, Lie theory. Some of what I work on is inspired by physics (although background in physics is not necessary).

Before coming to Mason, I was a postdoc at Cornell (mentored by Reyer Sjamaar) and at Penn State (mentored by Nigel Higson), and a PhD student in Toronto under the supervision of Eckhard Meinrenken. Before that I spent a year in Cambridge for Part III (focus: theoretical physics), and studied mathematics and physics as an undergrad at Waterloo.
