I’m a Lecturer at the Condensed Matter Physics Department of the University of Barcelona and member of UBICS (University of Barcelona Institute of Complex Systems). I obtained a PhD degree in Theoretical Physics from Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 in Paris, and then did postdoctoral stays at CNRS in Montpellier, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne, the University of Barcelona as a Marie Curie Fellow and EPFL Lausanne. I finally came back to Barcelona as a Young Investigator Grantee from the Spanish Ministry of Science (\u2018Jovenes Investigadores\u2019 programme). 
I am (broadly) interested in out-of-equilibrium many-body systems, looking for general physical principles governing their large-scale self-organization. My expertise is in statistical mechanics and condensed matter theory. I use and develop a combination of analytical and computational approaches. Over the last years my main research focus has been to understand the nature of phase transitions and other collective phenomena in active and driven model systems. I am also interested in different problems in complex systems involving emergent behaviour, such as synchronization, epidemic spreading or opinion formation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
