Introduction

 

I am a researcher in the field of Applied Mathematics and currently working at ITER. My research is focused broadly on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, with a particular interest in high-order methods for accurate simulations in fluid-dynamics, wave propagation and plasma physics. I wrote my PhD thesis at Laboratori de Càlcul Numèric, at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona.
