Pedro Ontaneda
Pedro Ontaneda is a Peruvian-American mathematician specializing in topology. He is a distinguished professor at Binghamton University, a unit of the State University of New York. His research has broken new ground in the study of manifolds by finding new kinds of manifold with negative curvature; unlike previous examples they are not locally symmetric spaces. This work greatly expanded the known range of the important negatively curved manifolds. Ontaneda (2020) was described in Mathematical Reviews as "in what seems to be a technical tour de force, ... one can produce a negatively curved Riemannian manifold".[1]
