I worked for 10 years at the Universitat of Barcelona. From october of 2001 I am working at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. I am a member of the Seminari de Teoria de Nombres de Barcelona from the 1992. I worked on Galois embedding problems for several years and I’m presently interested on Hopf Galois theory.
