I'm currently an Assistant Professor at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain. Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Oxford working with Jose A. Carrillo as part of an ERC grant. Also, I was a postdoc at Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lion at Sorbonne Universite as part of a fellowship from Fondation Sciences Mathematiques de Paris (FSMP) where I worked under the supervision of Benoit Perthame and Luis Almeida for two years. I finished my PhD in 2019 in Edinburgh under the supervision of Heiko Gimperlein and Kevin Painter.

Other Research Interests

Research interests: Applied PDEs

Nonlocal and nonlinear partial differential equations (modelling, analysis and numerics).
Interacting particle systems and swarming behaviour.
Macroscopic limits of kinetic equations.
High-dimensional (internal) dynamics and networks.

Projects

I was recently awarded a research project from the Spanish government "Proyectos Generacion de Conocimiento 2022" (PID2022-143012NA-I00) with the title "Kinetic equations for high dimensional and nonlocal interacting particle systems: Macroscopic limits, analysis and numerical methods (macroKNIGHTs) " from 2023 to 2026.
