Hello my name is

David Torres Teigell

I am an Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the Department of Mathematics of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. My recent research has mainly centred in Teichmüller dynamics, an exciting branch of mathematics where diverse areas such as algebraic geometry, dynamical systems and number theory converge.

A long, long time ago...

I finished my PhD at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) in 2012 under the supervision of Gabino González-Diez and Ernesto Girondo. During my master and doctorate studies I focused on Belyi-Grothendieck theory of dessins d’enfants and related topics, especially triangle groups, arithmetic Fuchsian groups and Beauville surfaces.
After my PhD defense, I spent one year at the Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt (Germany) in the research group of Martin Möller as a Research Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. There I started working on topics related to Teichmüller dynamics, moduli spaces of curves and abelian varieties.

In 2016 I started working as a postdoc with Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen at the Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken (Germany).

In 2018 I went back to Frankfurt as a research fellow in the framework of the LOEWE Project Uniformisierte Strukturen in Arithmetik und Geometrie of the departments of mathematics of the Technische Universität Darmstadt and the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.

In January 2020 I started working at the Department of Mathematics of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, where I am currently employed as a Profesor Ayudante Doctor.
