José Luis León Medina

CONAHCYT Postdoctoral Researcher

CIMAT-Mérida


I am a postdoctoral researcher working in the CIMAT-Mérida’s Algebraic Topology Group since 2022. Before that, in 2022, I got my Ph.D. from the CINVESTAV research center in Mexico under the supervision of Jesús González where I worked on the topological complexity of non-$k$-equal spaces, a kind of generalization of configuration spaces.

My current research focuses on describing homotopical properties of complements of real subspace arrangements like their topological complexity and their cohomology groups. I am also interested in applications of algebraic topology like the interactions between algebraic topology and deep learning. My research is founded by CONAHCYT grant CBF2023-2024-4059: “Interacciones topológico-computacionales”.

I am a member of the Mexican National System of Researchers (SNII), level candidate since 2023.
