The rest of the contact info is here as a souvenir. These are no longer my office and phone.

How to get to my former office
My office was in Campus Nord of UPC. This is located at the Northwest end of Barcelona, not far from Diagonal avenue.
From downtown, the most convenient access is by metro:
- Get on Line 3 (green color), direction Zona Universitària. Exit at the last-but-one stop, Palau Reial. This takes 20-25 minutes from the center (e.g., Plaça Catalunya stop).
- At the platform, it doesn't matter whether you take the front or back exit. But after you pass the ticket counters, make sure you walk to the farthest exit, then left.
- Make a right on the corner of the Palau Reial palace, walk uphill along its plain-looking wall, cross the street.
- Walk over to the second building (Omega, the one with the big sign "K2M UPC" on it), go around it, left, and in. Total walking time is 10-12 minutes.
- My office is 232 in floor 2 (ground floor is floor 0).
The Zona Universitària metro stop is almost as close. If you like buses better, final stops of lines 7, 33, and 54 are nearby.
