Biosketch

Professor since 2007 at UAB. Associate professor at UAB from 1998 to 2007 and «chargé de recherches» from 1995 to 1998 at CNRS, France.
In 2008 I received the ICREA Academia Prize.
My main scientific achievment perhaps is to complete the proof of the orbifold theorem , in collaboration with M Boileau and B Leeb, published in 2005.

Other Research Interests

Geometric structures on manifolds, low dimensional topology, varieties of representations

Projects

Currently I am just memberof the project PGC2018-095998-B-I00: Invariantes locales y globales ne geometría. Responsible: Gil Solanes
