Biosketch

Àngel Jorba received his PhD from the University of Barcelona under the supervision of Prof. Carles Simó. He has been associate professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and he is currently Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Barcelona. Since 2001 he is a member of the editorial board of the journal Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems – Series B, and he has served as coordinator of the spanish network of dynamical systems (DANCE) from 2006 to 2010.

Research lines

His research interests include celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, with a particular interest in the analysis of space missions. He is also interested on the occurrence of quasi-periodic motions in dynamical systems, and in the development of numerical and semi-analytical tools to deal with the application of dynamical systems to real situations.
