- PhD in Civil Engineering (2009), UPC-BarcelonaTech
- Postdoctoral Researcher (2009-2012), Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering
- Lecturer (2012), Senior Lecturer (2015), Associate Professor (2016), Full Professor (2021)
Research Interests focus on high-order numerical methods for engineering problems, including:
- Face-Centred Finite Volume Methods (FCFV)
- Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG)
- NURBS-Enhanced Finite Element Methods (NEFEM)
- Reduced Order Modeling
- Machine Learning for Mesh Optimization
- Computational Fluid and Electromagnetic Dynamics
- Geometrically Parametrized Problems
Article Trends show a focus on hybrid numerical methods for fluid-structure interaction, geometrically accurate mesh generation using NURBS, machine learning integration for flow simulations, and parametric modeling of complex systems. His work bridges CAD and FEM through NEFEM while advancing reduced-order models for real-time engineering applications.
