Recently, he has joined the Commission on Applied and Industrial Mathematics (CMAI) of the Colombian Mathematical Society for the period 2025-2027. Together with Brian Grajales and Karina Navarro Gonzalez (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) he is part of the Executive Committee of ICMAM Latin America. Brian Grajales is a Colombian mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at the Universidade Estadual de Maringá in Brazil. His research interests span Differential Geometry and Lie Theory, with a particular emphasis on Riemannian Geometry on homogeneous spaces. As an active member of several research groups, including those at the State University of Campinas, the University of Pamplona, and the ICMAM Latin America, Brian Grajales has made significant contributions to the field. His work has been published in numerous high-impact journals, and he has been a frequent participant in international conferences and seminars, where he has shared his insights with the broader mathematical community. Between 2022 and 2024, he served as the president of ICMAM Latin America, and since 2025, in view of his leadership and contributions to this organisation he was elected Vice President of ICMAM Latin America for the period 2025-2027.
