Biosketch

I received my Ph.D. under the supervision of Robert Devaney at Boston University. I am a member of the editorial board of the journals International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, and Butlletí de la Societat Catalana de Matemàtiques. I am co-editor-in-chief of Reports@SCM

My main scientific achievement is the proof of simple connectivity of Fatou components of Newton maps (joint with K.Baranski, X. Jarque and B.Karpinska). I wrote a book (joint with B.Branner) entitled “Quasiconformal surgery in holomorphic dynamics” (Cambridge University Press, 2014).

I have adviced five doctoral thesis (link).
