Fernando Olivie Méndez

Fernando is a mathematician. During his undergraduate studies, he focused his training on Lie Theory and its interrelation with symbolic computing. His bachelor’s thesis dealt with Frobenius and contact Lie algebras and was published in the journal Communications in Algebra in February 2023; this work also earned him the Sotero Prieto Award of the Mexican Mathematical Society in October 2023. After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued a master's degree in the Department of Mathematics at Cinvestav, one of the leading mathematical research centers in Latin America, specializing in fields such as Algebraic Topology, Commutative Algebra, and Operator Theory. His master's thesis on weighted monomial ideals was published in the Journal of Algebra and Applications in February 2025. Fernando will start his PhD at Leeds University in October 2025.
