After defending my PhD in 2012 at Universitat de Barcelona, I held several postdoctoral positions in Berlin, Münster and Barcelona, including a Marie Curie Fellowship at FU-Berlin and a research position as PI from the German Research Foundation at WWU-Münster. In 2019, I became Serra Húnter Lecturer at Universitat de Barcelona. Since June 2021, I am Vice-Dean of Research of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at UB. I am PI of the project "Homotopical methods in geometry", funded by the Spanish State Research Agency and a member of the French ANR project “Higher Algebra, Geometry, and Topology”.

Interests

Algebraic Topology and its interactions with Algebraic Geometry and Complex Geometry

Topology of algebraic varieties and mixed Hodge theory;
Multiplicative structures in homotopical algebra and cohomological operations;
Rational and p-adic homotopy theory, operads and formality;
Topology of complex and almost complex manifolds.

Projects

Homotopical methods in geometry (2021-2024)
