Biosketch

I finished my PhD thesis under the supervision of Eduard Casas-Alvero in 2001 for which I received the Extraordinary Thesis Award at the Universitat de Barcelona. After that I obtained a “Ramón y Cajal” postdoctoral position to join the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). I’ve been working at UPC since 2001 and I’m a Professor Agregat since 2005. I have co-advised one Ph.D thesis and I’m actually co-advising another one. From 2010 I am also interested in Mathematics dissemination and I am member of the Committee “IMAGINARY-RSME ” of the Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME). In 2012 I was awarded with a Honorable Mention in the prizes “Ciencia en Acción”.
