I did my bachelor, master and PhD at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), advised by Oriol Serra. From 2013 to 2015 I had the pleasure to be a CARP Postdoc Fellow at McGill University, working with Bruce Reed and Louigi Addario-Berry. From 2016 to 2019 I was a Lecturer in the Combinatorics, Probability and Algorithms group at the University of Birmingham. Since 2019 I am an Associate Professor in GAPCOMB at UPC. I am affiliated to CRM and to IMTech, and a member of SCM.

My main research interests are in Probabilistic and Extremal Combinatorics, Random Combinatorial Structures, Discrete Stochastical Processes and the analysis of Randomized Algorithms.
