Me
Welcome!
I'm David Muñoz Lahoz.

I'm currently a postdoc researcher* at ICMAT-UAM and a member of the Functional Analysis Madrid research group.

Below you can find my list of publications and CV.

One of my main research interests is the application of AI and formal verification to mathematics. I also maintain the Banach lattice Lean library.

Other projects include PlazasUni, which I co-created.

*POP of an FPI-UAM contract.


Publications

My research interests include: Banach spaces and Banach lattices, free objects in Functional Analysis, (positive) operator theory, ordered algebraic structures, AI for mathematics, formalization, and other computer-assisted forms of research.
