Academic information

I did my undergraduate degree on pure mathematics at FME. At the same time, I obtained my degree on telecommunication engineering at the TelecomBcn, under an intensive program offered by CFIS. During this period, I started studying pure physics at UNED, and I hope to finish it soon.

I obtained my Ph.D. on discrete mathematics on September of 2009, under the supervision of Professor Marc Noy in the context of analytic combinatorics. I have done several short scientific visits in Europe (Prague, Wien, ...) and a longer visiting research at the Discrete Mathematics Group at SFU, in Vancouver. Later, I was a CNRS postdoctoral fellow at LIX (Laboratorie d'Informatique) de l'Ecole Polytechnique in the lovely city of Paris, under the supervision of Gilles Schaeffer. I was supported by the ExploreMaps project. (ERC project), and in 2011 a guest in the team of Combinatorial modelisation of LIX (Laboratorie d'Informatique) de l'Ecole Polytechnique, and the team of Combinatoire of LIAFA. Later, from 2010 up to 2013 I have been a CSIC JAE-DOC postdoctoral fellow at ICMAT, under the supervision of Javier Cilleruelo. I have also been a teaching collaborator of the department of Mathematics of UAM.

Finally, before moving to Barcelona, I was a Juniorprofessor (Professor-W1) in Discrete Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics and Informatics (Combinatorics and Graph Theory Group) at Freie Universität Berlin, faculty member of the Berlin Mathematical School, and a junior faculty member of the DFG training network Methods for Discrete Structures. All this activity was done in the vibrant city of Berlin.
