Biosketch
I graduated in Physics in 1988 in the Universitat de Barcelona and in Mathematics in 1997 in the same University. I got my PhD in Mathematics in 2002, under the advise of Louis Crane, from Kansas State University, and Sebastià Xambó, from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. I am associate professor in this University since 2007.
Research lines
Categorical and higher categorical structures, in particular higher dimensional algebra.
