I'm a member of the
UB-UPC Dynamical Systems Group.
This is a quite large group of researchers in Dynamical Systems based
in Barcelona, with a wide set of interests.

Activities:
-
Editor of
Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation.
The journal publishes original research findings on experimental
observation, mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis and numerical
simulation, for more accurate description, better prediction or novel
application, of nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering. It
offers a venue for researchers to make rapid exchange of ideas and
techniques in nonlinear science and complexity.
-
Editor of Celestial
Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy. This is an international
journal concerned with the broad topic of celestial mechanics and
its applications, as well as with peripheral disciplines. It is
the journal of record in its field and is an indispensable
component of reference libraries on Dynamical Astronomy,
Astrodynamics and Dynamical Systems.
-
Editor of
Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B. This is an
interdisciplinary journal focused on the interplay between
mathematical analysis and scientific applications. It is centered
around dynamics, covering a broad range of applied areas including
physical, chemical, engineering, financial, biomedical, and life
sciences.
-
In our research group we have developed a Beowulf cluster called
HIDRA.
I'm also working on several tasks related to this cluster,
mainly in the design of parallel numerical methods (including
software) for dynamical systems problems.
Past activities
Research interests:
-
Dynamical systems: Celestial mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, KAM theory,
normal forms, diffusion.
-
Numerical methods: Integration of ODE, computation of invariant objects
(invariant tori, invariant manifolds), computational KAM theory.
-
Applications: Dynamical astronomy, spacecraft dynamics, mission analysis.
-
Parallel computing: use of Beowulf clusters in dynamical systems problems.
Other topics of interest:
-
PDEs: Numerical methods (spectral and FEM), use of dynamical systems tools
to study dynamical PDEs (like the Poiseuille flow or water waves).
-
Applications of dynamical systems to any field of sciences: molecular dynamics,
atmospheric dynamics, etc.
