I am an Associate Professor at the UAB since 2010. I was a EPSRC postdoc, Aberdeen University, from 2000 and 2001; and a visiting professor in Purdue University in 2005.


I have participated in several research programmes: Mittag-Leffler Insitute (2006)(2022), Bernouilli Centre (2005), Max-Planck Institut fur Mathematik (2001)(2022), Fields Institute (2020), Banff International Research Centre (2022), Haussdorff Institute (2022), ICTS Bangalore (2023) and several workshops at Matematisches Forschunginstitut Oberwolfach.


I was the Coordinator of the Spanish Topology Netwok (2012).

Interests

My research is mainly focused on understanding homotopy properties of p-completed classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and fusion systems in general by means of p-local group information, specially focused o maps between p-completed classifying spaces. I am also interested on having a better understanding of homotopy idempotent functors and homotopy generalizations of classifying spaces of groups. Recently I am also working on understand cohomological properties by its translation in the stable homotopy theory of geometric cochains, specially the point of view of tensor-triangular geometry of Quillen stratification results.
