The project: "Supersymmetric evolution flows and their applications to differential geometry" by the GRASS Project associate IFT researcher Carlos Shahbazi, awarded one of the Leonardo scholarships to researchers and cultural creators of the BBVA Foundation, 2022 edition.

Carlos Shabazi Alonso (Carrizo, León, 1986) completed his bachelor's and master's degrees at the Complutense University of Madrid and completed his doctorate in Theoretical Physics at the IFT UAM-CSIC, obtaining the extraordinary doctorate award. He spent six months at Stanford University (United States) and has worked at the Center National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris (France) and at the universities of Hannover and Hamburg (Germany). He currently combines a second doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Hamburg with his position as María Zambrano Researcher at the National University of Distance Education.

Although supergravity has not been experimentally tested, it is the leading candidate for resolving conflicts between two of the most fundamental theories in physics: quantum mechanics and general relativity. Like many other modern physical theories, supergravity has been developed without clarifying its mathematical representation with sufficient precision. For this reason, this project will focus on the so-called "supersymmetric configurations" of supergravity in four dimensions, formulating their mathematical implications for predicting the evolution of the physical systems they describe. His results, he hopes, will also have repercussions in the purely mathematical fields of geometry and topology.
