Josep Gonzalez Rovira

Josep Gonzalez Rovira is a Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Departament de Matemàtiques at the Escola Politècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de Vilanova i la Geltrú (EPSEVG). His research focuses on Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and computational aspects of modular forms and curves. He is a core member of the STNB (Seminari de Teoria de Nombres de Barcelona) research group, contributing to projects like 'Aritmética de funciones L y estructuras de Galois' and 'Técnicas computacionales en teoría de números.'

Key research interests include modular curves, elliptic curves, Q-curves, automorphism groups, and applications to cryptography. He has authored over 80 publications, including studies on division polynomials, bielliptic curves, and Frobenius distributions. His work often intersects computational methods, as seen in projects involving SageMath and collaborations on hyperelliptic curves.

Josep has advised doctoral students like Santiago Molina (2011) and contributed to grants funded by Spain's Plan Nacional and Catalan agencies. His academic contributions include editorial roles in journals like Experimental Mathematics and Publicacions Matemàtiques, reflecting his leadership in advancing algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry.
