Yiannis Loizides


I am an assistant professor in the Mathematics Department 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). Before coming to Mason, I was a postdoc at Cornell (mentored by Reyer Sjamaar) and at Penn State (mentored by Nigel Higson). Before that I was a PhD student in Toronto under the supervision of Eckhard Meinrenken.

GMU students interested in hearing more about possible research topics should 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).
