Biography
He obtained his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Barcelona in 2000. After that he spent many wonderful years working as a postdoc at the University of Oxford, UK (2001-2003), University College London, UK (2003-2006), and Imperial College London, UK (2006-2009). He briefly held a senior researcher and group leader position at BCAM, Bilbao, Spain (2009-2010), after which he moved the Centre Recerca Matematica where he lead the Computational & Mathematical Biology Group. He also held visiting fellowships at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, IIMAS (UNAM, Mexico DF), OCCAM (University of Oxford, UK), the Mathematical Institute (University of Oxford, UK), and the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (Columbus, Ohio, USA). In October 2015, he was appointed to an ICREA Research Professorship at the Centre de Recerca Matematica.
