Eva Miranda Galcerán is a Spanish mathematician specializing in dynamical systems, especially in symplectic geometry.[1][2][3]
Pioneer on singular symplectic geometry, her research includes work with Victor Guillemin on the mathematics underlying the three-body problem in celestial mechanics.[2][3] With Daniel Peralta-Salas and collaborators, she showed the existence of undecidable fluid paths, linking computer science, differential geometry, and fluid dynamics.[4][5][6]In 2025 she showed together with Isaac Ramos that 2D billiards with one ball can be Turing complete solving an open problem posed by Moore[7].
Miranda earned a bachelor's degree in algebra and geometry from the University of Barcelona in 1999.[8] She completed her Ph.D. at the same university in 2003. Her dissertation, On symplectic linearization of singular Lagrangian foliations, was supervised by Carlos Currás Bosch.[8][9]
She was an assistant professor at the University of Barcelona from 2001 to 2006, and a Marie Curie postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toulouse from 2004 to 2007. From 2007 to 2009 she was Juan de la Cierva Researcher at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and in 2009 she joined the mathematics department of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Since 2016 she has headed the Laboratory of Geometry and Dynamical Systems at the Polytechnic University. She became Full Professor at UPC in 2018.[8]
