T. Ticó
Passeig Matemàtic per Catalunya. Pagès Ed., Lleida, 2004.
Abstract: I acted as supervisor of this nice work of Teresa Ticó, who is a high school maths teacher. In this work she proposes mathematical activities for high school students related to architecture, urbanism, historical and artistic objects, that can be visited during the usual school excursions and visits all around Catalunya (in Catalan).

V. Sacristán
Informatizar las matemáticas, matematizar la informática (una propuesta docente)
Technical Report, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Departament de Matemàtica Aplicada II, 1999. MA-IR-99-0006.
Abstract: A survey about the relationship between Mathematics and Computer Science, and how this relationship affects the curricula of both sciences. Specially focusing on the situation in the UPC (in Spanish).

J. Trias and V. Sacristán
A Geometry Lab with Mathematica. In Mathematica in Education and Research, Vol.4, N.2, pp.23-30, 1995. Renewed Abstract in Les tecnologies de la informació i la comunicació a l’educació a la UPC, pp. 55-55, 1999. Renewed version, with new co-authors, in Experiències de millora de la qualitat docent a la UPC, pp. 25-40, 1997.
Abstract: An experience of a Geometry Lab based on Mathematica for a Geometry course for Computer Science students, intended to be a basis for later courses in Computer Graphics, CAD and CAGD. Students combine their knowledge of basic geometry topics like polyhedra, curve and surface generation, affine and perspective transformations, among others, by means of lists manipulations and a clever use of substitution rules to generate apparently complicated geometric scenes.

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.
