Salvador Roura Ferret

Salvador Roura Ferret is a faculty member at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Faculty of Informatics of Barcelona (FIB) and the Department of Computer Sciences. He is an active researcher in the ALBCOM group, focusing on algorithmics, bioinformatics, complexity, and formal methods.

His research interests span algorithms, randomized data structures, divide-and-conquer methods, and computational complexity. His work often bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in voting systems, game theory, and educational technologies.

The recent publications (2013–2025) reflect a strong trend in theoretical computer science, particularly in algorithm design, data structures (e.g., K-d trees, binary search trees), and game-theoretic models. There is a notable emphasis on mathematical rigor, complexity analysis, and formal modeling of computational problems.
