I am a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). I earned my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Barcelona in 2019, specialising in time-dependent Hamiltonian systems and their applications. Over my research career I have held a junior postdoctoral position at the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES) in France, where I contributed to the mission analysis for the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) project, as well as a senior postdoctoral position at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica. My core expertise lies at the intersection of theoretical and applied dynamical systems, with a particular focus on celestial mechanics and astrodynamics.
