ABOUT

I hold a Doctorate in Applied Mathematics from the University of Valencia, Spain, conferred in 1999. Notably, I served as the principal investigator in two I+D+i contracts with Navantia S.A (2007-2012), facilitating the funding of a predoctoral scholarship and a predoctoral research contract. This endeavor resulted in the submission of two PhD theses and the creation of the software SIMUSUB, presently employed at Navantia. Additionally, I have delivered keynote addresses at various national (e.g., XXVII CEDYA/XVII CMA, held in Zaragoza in 2022) and international congresses and workshops (e.g., at the esteemed Institute Henri Poincaré, Paris).

My academic engagements extend globally, having served as a visiting researcher at multiple esteemed institutions: (1) School of Mathematics, University of New South Wales (Australia, 3 months in 2000); (2) Instituto de Matemática - Laboratorio Nacional de Computación, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, 6 weeks in 2003); (3) Departament de Mathématiques, Université de Franche-Comté (France, several short visits between 2006-2010); (4) École Polytechnique de Paris (France, several short visits between 2008-2014); (5) Mathematics Department, University of California, Santa Barbara (USA, 4 months in 2021). Furthermore, my research contributions have been recognized through successive periods of research activity (Sexenios de investigación y transferencia), totaling five periods, with the latest spanning from 2016 to 2021.
