Presentation

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in Hervé Turlier's research group on the multi-scale physics of morphogenesis at the Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Biologie (CIRB).

How do cells form embryos ?

I help biologists and physicists to clarify this question using numerical models. More specifically, I design new finite element methods targeting active flows on deformable surfaces.

I hold a PhD in applied mathematics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. My thesis focused on large-scale finite elements for modeling the complex geometries present in metal 3D printing.

I hold a double degree in mathematics and civil engineering from the UPC's Centre de Formació Interdisciplinària Superior (CFIS).
