Xavier Ros-Oton is an ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona since 2020. Previously, he has been Assistant Professor at Universität Zürich, as well as R. H. Bing Instructor at the University of Texas at Austin.

He is a mathematician who works on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Specifically, he studies the regularity of solutions to elliptic and parabolic PDEs, and he is mostly known for his results on free boundary problems and integro-differential equations.

He is the PI of an ERC Starting Grant (2019-2024), and has received several awards for young mathematicians in Spain, including the J. L. Rubio de Francia Prize from the RSME and the Antonio Valle Prize from the SeMA.

In 2019, he received the Scientific Research Award from the Fundación Princesa de Girona.
