"I always wanted to be somebody, but now 
 I realize I should have been more specific"
                                             Lily Tomlin

I received my B.Sc. in Biology from the Universitat de Barcelona and my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Since 2003, I am associate professor of Applied Mathematics in the Department of Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the Universitat de Girona. Since 2021, I am also "enseignant-chercheur associé" at the Université de Guyane, French Guyane.

Meanwhile, I have had two children, Pau (29) and Núria (26), with my wife Carme.

I am a member of the (consolidated) research group "Dynamical systems: Theory, mathematical modelling and applications” (2021 SGR 00113) accredited by the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia. My fields of expertise are supposed to be Population Dynamics, Mathematical Modelling, and Complex Networks, although I always feel like being an apprentice.  Currently, I participate in the project "Viabilité de l'exploitation forestière en Guyane française (VEG2F)", AIBSI consortium.  

My research group at the UdG is Equacions Diferencials, Modelització i Aplicacions which involves people working in different areas of Applied Mathematics as Celestial Mechanics and Biomathematics. On 5-7 September 2012, we held a workshop on epidemics on networks at the UdG. You can have a look at EpiNet 2012. In 2013 we organised an advanced school on Epidemic modelling (EpiNet 2013) which covered some topics on epidemic modelling on networks more extensively. In 2016 we organized a meeting on robusteness and epidemic spreading on multilayer and interconnected networks (MIN 2016). This year we have organised the workshop "Epidemic Modelling: Current challenges" (EpiMod 2023) Girona, 19-21 June 2023.
