Marc Calvo completed his doctoral studies at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica and earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), where he also completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. After a short time in the consulting industry, he moved to the UAE, where he served as an Assistant Professor. During this time he continued his collaboration with CRM researchers and, upon returning to Barcelona, took on a full-time research position at the CRM.

He later joined the Department of Mathematics of the UPC as an Assistant Professor and is currently Vice-Chair of External Relations of the Interdisciplinary Centre of Higher Education (CFIS-UPC). His research focuses on the mathematical modelling of physical and chemical processes, with particular emphasis on environmental applications.
