James Montaldi is a Reader in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, where he has worked since 2001. He has previously held a professorship at the University of Nice in France. Montaldi holds a BSc in Mathematical Physics from the University of Sussex and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Liverpool. His research interests lie at the intersection of pure and applied mathematics, with a focus on dynamical systems, particularly symmetric Hamiltonian systems, bifurcations, and the role of symmetry in these systems. He emphasizes a systematic approach to understanding (symplectic) group actions and the geometry of momentum maps in his work. He is currently engaged in projects related to bifurcations at zero momentum and the transition of momentum polytopes, exploring how symplectic forms influence these dynamical systems.
