From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Santiago López de Medrano Sánchez (born October 15, 1942 in Mexico City) is a Mexican mathematician, who works as a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).[1][2] His research has concerned knot theory, singularity theory, biomathematics, and differential topology.[2]

López de Medrano did his undergraduate studies at UNAM,[2] and earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1969, under the supervision of William Browder.[3] He returned to UNAM as a researcher and professor in 1968, and was president of the Mexican Mathematical Society from 1969 to 1973.[2]

López de Medrano presented his work on knot invariants at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1970.[2] In 2012, he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[4]
