CONTACT. My office is in the A0 building, a.k.a. Omega: room 225. Mi despacho esta ahora en el edificio A0, también llamado Omega: despacho 225. My phone number has changed as well. Mi número de teléfono también ha cambiado: (+34)-93-413-7847 (UPC ext 37847). La dirección de correo electrónico acabada en .es quedara obsoleta en breve plazo. The e-address ending with .es is deprecated. Usa .edu en su lugar. Use .edu instead.

Contact policy: I leave on a very aggressive spam killer which is likely to erase your message, mistaken for spam; it will give some opportunities to messages from educational institutions and from some european countries, though. Also the subject is checked for presence of the word "math". Good luck.

This page has alternated repeatedly between construction and destruction phases. It is unclear what phase is it in right now.

Our research group: LARCA at UPC; we recently organized: Learning 2006, ALT-DS 2006, ICDT 2007, Pascal Bootcamp 2007.

Some of my writings, most of them research-related; some of the links might be broken. Good luck.

Ph D advisor or co-advisor of:
Jacobo Torán (1988), Ricard Gavaldà (1992), Elvira Mayordomo (1994), Montserrat Hermo (1996), Albert Atserias (2002, coadvisor M. L. Bonet), Jorge Castro (2002, coadvisor D Guijarro), Gemma C. Garriga (2006), Jaume Baixeries (2007); unfortunately, the career of Luis Valentin (coadvisor Lluis Belanche) was truncated, much before his thesis could take shape, by his untimely death after long illness.

Research-related software developed: The Slim system. More later on this year. (I did not say what year was 'this'.)

Personal items with many more (broken?) links.
