Constanza Rojas-Molina is an Associate Professor at the Mathematics Department of CY Cergy Paris University, and an illustrator.
Originally from Chile, she did her postgraduate studies at Pierre and Marie Curie University – Paris VI, and the University of Cergy-Pontoise. After her PhD, she was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie IEF Fellowship to do a postdoc at the University of Munich, followed by a postdoc at the University of Bonn, before obtaining a Junior-Professor position in Stochastics at the University of Düsseldorf. In 2019 she returned to France to be part of CY Cergy Paris University.
Her research focuses on the theory of random Schrödinger operators, a field of mathematical-physics that studies the propagation of electrons in quantum disordered systems. For her research, Dr. Rojas-Molina has been awarded third-party funding from EU, DFG and ANR. Dr. Rojas-Molina complements her research activities with an active engagement in science communication using illustration, and teaching using innovative pedagogical approaches. She is part of the Outreach Committee of the European Mathematical Society, and Board Member of the Association of Women in Mathematical Physics.
