PhD in Mathematics obtained at UPC

Biosketch

BSc (licenciado, Universitat de Barcelona) in Physics and PhD (UPC) in Mathematics has developed his academic and research tasks at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. His research is focused in the study of Dynamical Systems. In this field, he has achieved some results concerning quasi periodic bifurcation phenomena, and the analysis of normal forms of Hamiltonian systems in the neighborhood of non semi-simple resonances. Currently he works on the study of homoclinic connections in Hamiltonian PDE as well as on applications in Celestial Mechanics.
