Mellado Cuerno, Manuel

Manuel Mellado Cuerno is an Assistant Professor on Tenure Track in the Department of Mathematics at CUNEF Universidad. He earned a Bachelor's and a Master's in Mathematics at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. His PhD research evolved from studying collapsing sequences of Riemannian manifolds to exploring Gromov's Filling Radius, reach in Wasserstein spaces, and applications of the Wasserstein distance, including uniform point distribution on compact manifolds. He also developed a strong focus on Topological Data Analysis (TDA). Today, he combines theoretical and applied mathematics, contributing to metric geometry, TDA, and applications in Air Traffic Management and Sociology. He is Principal Investigator of the BBVA-funded project POL-AXES on political ideological landscapes in Europe. He is also reviewer of Mathscinet.
