I did my PhD thesis at the Universitat de Barcelona under the gentle supervision of S. Zarzuela and I was a happy Fulbright postdoc at the University of Minnesota mentored by G. Lyubeznik. 

Right now I'm an Associate Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya where I enjoy collaborating with colleagues from whom I have learned many things from areas close to my origins in commutative algebra.
