Academic and professional information

* Bachelor degree (5 years) mathematics at FME, Degree (5 years) on telecommunication engineering at the ETSETB, under an intensive program offered by CFIS.

* Ph.D. on discrete mathematics on 09.2009, under the supervision of Professor Marc Noy. 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.

* 10.2009-09.2010 - CNRS postdoctoral fellow at LIX (Laboratorie d'Informatique) de l'Ecole Polytechnique, 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.

* 10.2010-09.2013 - CSIC JAE-DOC postdoctoral fellow at ICMAT, in Madrid, under the supervision of Javier Cilleruelo. I have also been a teaching collaborator of the department of Mathematics of UAM.

* 09.2013-01.2016 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.
