Biography
|
I studied Physics in the University of Barcelona, where I got my PhD in Physics. After my thesis I moved with a postdoctoral Marie Curie fellow to the Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max- Planck Society in Berlin and then to the group Mathematical modeling and data analysis in the department Medical Physics of the German Metrology Institute (Physikalisch- Technische Bundesanstalt). After five years as Ramón y Cajal fellow in the department of Physics of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) I got tenure on 2019. |
