PhD Thesis / Tesis doctorals

Grants for students wishing to do their PhD at UPC
There exist three different calls:
– Grants from the Spanish government
– Grants from the Catalan government
– UPC grants
All the administrative information can be found here: https://doctorat.upc.edu/en.
Please, do not hesitate to contact the UPC Research Group on Discrete, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry for any question you may have and, of course, do it if you are interested in this option. You can see here what the Group does.

Grants for students wishing to do their PhD abroad
There exist many opportunities to obtain a grant if you wish to do your PhD in Discrete and/or Algorithmic Geometry in prestigious research groups located mainly in Europe, and also in the USA and Canada. Please contact the UPC Research Group on Discrete, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry if you are interested in this option. You can see here what the Group does.

Advising doctoral thesis
I have now retired from advising PhD thesis. Please contact the UPC Research Group on Discrete, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry if you are interested in this option. You can see here what the Group does.

Advised doctoral thesis
– Some problems on proximity graphs, by Maria Saumell Mendiola, coadvised with Ferran Hurtado, 2011.

Other tesis
You can see what other thesis I have advised following this link.

University policy

I was vicepresident of personnel of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya from March 2002 to March 2006.

From 2011, I chair the Observatori del Sistema Universitari, a permanent platform for research, analysis, debate and critical reflection on university systems and policies.

I am currently focusing on this activity (among others).

Research

My main research interest has been in Computational Geometry. I used to be the responsible of the UPC Research Group on Discrete, Combinatorial, and Computational Geometry. The founder of our group was Ferran Hurtado. He also was my Ph.D. adviser. I have served in the PC of the main conferences of my field and I in the editorial board of the journal Computational Geometry - Theory and Applications.

I have now essentially retired from this activity.

Teaching

My main teaching activity took place in the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics (FME) and in the Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).

I have now completely retired from this activity.
