Professional profile

Professor Juan-Pablo Ortega is a distinguished mathematician holding the Lee Soo Ying Professorship at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). As the Head of the Division of Mathematical Sciences and Associate Chair for Faculty, he occupies a central role in shaping the mathematical landscape of the institution.

Prof. Ortega has a strong interest in how dynamic processes learn and evolve. His work spans areas such as input–output systems, stochastic processes, controlled and dynamical systems, and time‑series analysis.

He is committed to examine how these mathematical tools apply to real‑world problems, including financial econometrics, mathematical finance, physiological signal analysis, and engineering. In parallel, he has done extensive work in geometric mechanics, focusing on stability theory, symmetry in dynamical systems, and methods for reducing complex models.
