Jordi Baro Urbea graduated in Physics in 2010 from the University of Barcelona (UB), and obtained a MSc in Computational and Applied Physics in 2011 from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC). PhD in Condensed Matter Physics by UB (2015). Postdoctoral fellow from 2015 to 2018 at the the Complexity Science Group, and the Dept. of Geoscience of the University of Calgary (UC), Canada. He is currently affiliated to the Centre of Mathematical Research (CRM) as an AXA postdoctoral fellow.
