Degree in Mathematics (1989) and PhD in Mathematics (1995) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, within the area of dynamical systems. He is Associate Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, within the UPC Group of Dynamical Systems. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (New York University) and Visiting Professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology. From 2011 to 2015, he served as Deputy Director of the CRM; he also represented CRM in the Monitoring Committee of BGSMath. His research is mainly devoted to neuroscience problems through modelling and simulations, with special focus on the application of recent mathematical tools and the development of new mathematical results. He is currently interested in several problems: (1) Study of synchronization in neuronal populations using invariant manifold's theory and response
curves associated to oscillators; (2) Network and slow-fast rate models to study the effects of short-term synaptic depression in brain activity; (3) Use of inference methods to estimate synaptic conductances in order to discern functional patterns of activity; (4) Development and study of mathematical models to understand the factors that drive phenomena of multistable perception. Besides neuroscience problems, he is also participating in research projects on population dynamics; in particular, modelling and analyzing models of prebiotic evolution (hypercycle theory).
