Pablo Sáez

Lecturer at UPC
Research area: Mathematical Modelling

PhD in Computational Mechanics obtained at Universidad de Zaragoza

Biosketch

Before joining UPC as a lecturer I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and Carnegie Melon University within a collaboration project on brain mechanics between groups at both instituions.
Before, I was also a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in 2013. I was awarded a PhD in Computational Mechanics at University of Zaragoza on the “Theoretical and computational study of the mechano-biology in hypertension disease” under a FPI fellowship. During the period of 2009-2012 I enjoy several research visits at Stanford University, The City College of New York and the California Institute of Technology.
