am a Fᴜʟʟ
Pʀᴏꜰᴇssᴏʀ (Catedràtic d'Universitat) at
the Dept. of Computer Science, Universitat Politècnica de
Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. I received my PhD in
Computer Science from the Dept. of CS at BarcelonaTech
in 1998. I have held various academic positions at
BarcelonaTech and short term positions abroad including
Visiting Professorship at University of Surrey and at
the University of London, UK and a Research Associate at
Drexel University, USA. I am member of IMP-Information Modelling
Processing Research Group of UPC.
» My Rᴇsᴇᴀʀᴄʜ Iɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛ include parallel and distributed algorithms, massive data processing, collective intelligence, IoT and networking systems, Grid, P2P and Cloud continuum computing, security and trustworthy computing, optimization and meta-heuristics. I have widely published in international journals, conferences/workshops, books and book chapters. My research results have received an ample reference and citation with Google H-INDEX 53 and Index i10 279, WoS H-Index: 33, SCOPUS H-Index: 41. My research is supported by more than 25 Research Projects from Spain, EU and NSF/USA. My research activity is awarded research merits for the six year periods 1996-2001-2007-2013-2019 (four sexenios) by CNEAI, Spanish Ministry and for the periods 2001-2006-2011/2014-2019 (three sexenis compl. autonòmic.), teaching merits for the period 1995-2015 (five quinquenios) and is evaluated to A/A in teaching/research by the UPC.
