My current research
is with the Graphs and Combinatorics Group in the application of
Graph
Theory to the design of
topologies and communication strategies for interconnection networks and
include:
- Design and analysis of deterministic models for complex networks.
- Study of graph invariants and parameters associated to complex networks in the context of biomedicine and social sciences.
As an example, the network associated to the
Erdös number
(since 1995, mine is 2).
- Communication problems in networks: broadcasting and gossiping.
- The use of combinatorial optimization algorithms for
problems like the design of certain classes of (complex) networks or communication
strategies, planarization,
the design of codes, coloring of graphs or frequency assignment:
See my ON-LINE PAPERS for more details.
Related to this research, I have supervised several PhD
Thesis and PFC (Projecte Final de Carrera, roughly equivalent
to a Master Thesis). See my mathematical genealogical tree here.

This page was created in June 10, 1994. In 1996, a project to
keep "snapshots" of the WWW was started at
web.archive.org , with
computers at the new Alexandria Library and somewhere in
California. Go to the past and connect to

was on December 1, 1996.
We put the first geocache
(geoamagatall) of the Iberian peninsula (February 18th, 2001).
Listen to an interview (Radio Barcelona), March 2001,
on this topic.
Another short interview related with the 5th anniversary
was broadcasted by Catalunya Informació (March 1, 2006). The newspaper AVUI wrote an
article in August 11th, 2006.
