Education & Background

    I got my bachelor degree and master at La Salle school of engineering (www.salleURL.edu) . Later on, in 2000, I co-founded an start-up consulting firm (www.cometatech.com). After, I realized teaching and research were the most fun for me and I worked for 2 years at my undergraduate school as lecturer and then in 2004 I moved to the Computer Architecture Department at UPC where I work as a lecturer while I study my PhD. This is one of the greatest place for combining these two activities and enjoy the city were I was born, Barcelona.

Teaching

    I'm teaching PXCSO (Projectes de Xarxes de Computadors i Sistemes Operatius) at the Facultat d'Informatica de Barcelona (FIB).

Research

    My research interests are in the area of Operating Systems and Computer Architecture. At the moment I'm focusing my Phd thesis in Operating Systems for Chip MultiProcessors. I'm working in the efficient usage of shared resources in CMP working in the area of Scheduling and Memory Management.

Personal info

    A part from all the Operating System research and teaching I also love playing basketball. I play for the Detectives Alexander - Joventut Les Corts JLC, in Barcelona, we play in Primera Catalana, which is an amateur league but we really take it very serious ;-).
