Associate professor at UB
Research area: Dynamical Systems

PhD in Mathematics obtained at UB (1998)

Biosketch

He did his PhD thesis under the supervision of professor Carles Simó (october 1998). Funded by the Fulbright program, he did a postdoctoral stay at the University of Texas at Austin, where he started a fruitful collaboration with professor Rafael de la Llave. He got a permanent position at UB in july 2001.

The main scientific achievement is the development of a singurality theory for KAM tori (jointly with Rafael de la Llave and Alejandra González), which involves tools from symplectic geometry and functional analysis, and leads to efficient algorithms of computation. This work has been recognised by professor M. Sevryuk as one of the main achievements in KAM theory during the last decade. He and Rafael de la Llave havealso discovered new mechanisms of breakdown of invariant tori.
