About the author

Artemio González-López (Madrid, 1959) is a theoretical physicist specializing in mathematical physics, particularly classical and quantum integrability. He earned degrees in Physics (1982) and Mathematics (1995) at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), and a Ph.D. in Physics (1984) at UCM. A Fulbright Scholar at Princeton University (1985-87), he has taught at the Universities of Minnesota and Waterloo and at UCM, where he is a Full Professor since 2009. Author of over 90 papers, he has supervised four Ph.D. theses and led ten research projects. He is also an editor of several scientific journals and heads UCM's Mathematical Physics group.
