Welcome to my home page!


Research

My research interests are differential geometry and its applications to mathematical physics, mechanics and control theory.  

Here there is a list of my research publications.
You can also look for me here (Mathematical Reviews) or here (Zentralblatt MATH) or here (arXiv.org) or here (ORCID) or even here (Google Scholar).

I am with the research group Geometry of Manifolds and Applications (where my former group Differential Geometry, Dynamical Systems, and Applications integrated).   We collaborate with other groups, in particular with those in the Geometry, Mechanics and Control Network.

My PhD thesis advisor was Prof. Josep M. Pons (UB). I have been the advisor of two PhD theses, as well as of several master theses and degree theses.

I am also interested in the relationship between mathematics and music, and I have done some research in this field.

Other activities in the University

I am a member of the Orquestra de la UPC since its foundation.  I played the flute (2000-2010) and since 2010, the bassoon.  We collaborate with the Coral Arquitectura in a regular basis.

Computers and information

As many other people, I am involved in several ways with computers, computation and information.   You can find some links here.

Hobbies

No patiu! No us explicaré els meus hobbies... Tanmateix, entre ells hi ha la ludolingüística, o, dit més vulgarment, els jocs de paraules (si voleu saber-ne més, feu un passeig pel magnífic Verbàlia 2.0 de Màrius Serra). Des del 2013 publico la secció de Matemots a la revista SCM/Notícies de la Societat Catalana de Matemàtiques, amb jocs de paraules de contingut matemàtic. Aquí els teniu: feb 2013, jul 2013, gen 2014, jul 2014, des 2015, jul 2016, des 2016, jul 2017, des 2017, jul 2018, des 2018, jul 2019, feb 2020, set 2020, feb 2021, set 2021, set 2022, feb 2023.
