Biosketch

Dr. Xavier Jarque is a professor at Universitat de Barcelona (UB), which he joined in 2003 (on leave at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, from 2008 to 2010). Hi did the Pd.D. at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and he spent two years at Boston University (Boston, MA) as post-doctoral fellowship. As a researcher he has focussed in holomorphic dynamics, more concretly in transcendental dynamics as discrete dynamical systems genereted by the iterates of transcendental meromorphic maps. He is member of the research group HOLODYN (http://www.maia.ub.es/holodyn/) and GSD-UAB (http://www.gsd.uab.cat/). Since 2003 has had taught, among other subjects, Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems and Numerical Analysis. During the last 10 years he had taught (joint with Ernest Fontich) the Dynamical Systems course at the Master in Advanced Mathematics. Further information at: http://www.maia.ub.es/~xjarque
