Joaquim Ortega

I did my thesis in Mathematics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. I was a postdoc researcher in the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1995 where I returned as a visiting professor during the course 2004/2005. I worked at the Universitat Autonòma de Barcelona and at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Currently, I am a professor at the University of Barcelona since 1997.

I have done several long research stays at the Mittag-Leffler Institute, Center for Advanced Studies at Oslo and at the Universities of Goteborg and Trondheim where I have regular collaborators and shorter visits at the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach and the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics. I am an invited lecturer at the European Congress of Mathematics in Berlin 2016. My main research interest is complex analysis in one and several variables. Particularly the study of the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equation to tackle problems as the size of the Bergman kernel or the description of zero sets, sampling an interpolating sequences. Other topics of my interest are Dirichlet series, from a point of view of function theory in the infinite-dimensional polydisk and lately random point processes and optimal configuration sets.

Martí Prats

Currently associate professor (professor lector) at Universitat de Barcelona. I my Ph.D. in UAB under Xavier Tolsa’s tuition, on Calderón-Zygmund operators and Sobolev spaces on domains, with applications to quasiconformal mappings. After that I have been postdoc in UAM with Daniel Faraco and in Aalto Yliopisto with Kari Astala, working on the Calderón inverse problem with techiques of quasiconformal mappings. We could develop a characterization for the sets of conductivities where the inverse mapping is continuous. I also obtained a postdoc position and a JdC-I position in UAB with Xavier Tolsa to work on free boundary problems, reaching remarkable results on the thin one-phase free boundary problem and in the VMO two-phase problem for harmonic measure. Actually I am working in harmonic measure problems with Xavier Tolsa and our Ph.D. student Ignasi Guillén.

Xavier Ros Oton

Xavier is ICREA Research Professor and Catedràtic d’Universitat at UB since 2020. Previously, he has been Assistant Professor at Universität Zürich, as well as R. H. Bing Instructor at the University of Texas at Austin. He is a mathematician who works on Partial Differential Equations (PDE). Specifically, he studies the regularity of solutions to elliptic and parabolic PDE, and he is mostly known for his results on free boundary problems and integro-differential equations. He is the PI of an ERC Starting Grant (2019-2024), has received several awards for young mathematicians in Spain, as well as the Scientific Research Award from the Fundación Princesa de Girona in 2019. Furthermore, in 2021 he was awarded the Stampacchia Gold Medal, an international prize awarded every three years in recognition of outstanding contributions to the Calculus of Variations.

Xavier Tolsa

I was born in Barcelona in 1966. First I studied engineering, but later I turned to mathematics. After obtaining my PhD in mathematics in 1998 (UAB), I spent about one year in Goteborg (University of Goteborg – Chalmers) and another year in Paris (Université de Paris-Sud), until I came back to Barcelona (UAB) by means of a “Ramón y Cajal” position. Since 2003 I am an ICREA Research Professor. My current research in mathematics focuses in Fourier analysis, geometric measure theory, and geometric function theory. 

My main scientific achievements are the proof of the semiadditivity of analytic capacity and contribution to the Painlevé problem (2003), and the solution of the David Semmes problem in codimension 1, with F. Nazarov and A. Volberg (2014).

Joan Verdera

Professor at UAB since 1987.

Visiting professor at University of California at Los Angeles during 1983-1984 and 2001-2002.

I contributed to the understanding of analytic capacity in a series of papers during the nineties and the beginning of 2000. I also worked on the maximal singular integral in connection with existence of principal values. More recently, I became interested in Fluid Dynamics, and I am working presently in the subject using methods from Classical Analysis.
