 I was awarded the Ferran Sunyer Balaguer price in 1987 for my PhD thesis. From 1987-1989 I was assistant professor at Universitat Politècnica de Cat alunya. Then I moved to Universitat de Barcelona, where I am professor since 2005. From 2007-2011 I was the director of the Departament de Matemàtica Aplicada i Anàlisi (UB).
