I am associate professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Technical University of Catalonia).

Research

I am interested in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures, in particular sorting and searching. Here you can get a brief summary of my main published research results .

Teaching

I teach the third-semester course Data Structures and Algorithms at the Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona (School of Informatics of Barcelona).

I teach the first-semester course "Informàtica" (an introductory programming course) at the Facultat de Matemàtiques i Estadística (School of Mathematics and Statistics).

I also teach and coordinate the third-semester course "Algorísmia" (Algorithms) at the Facultat de Matemàtiques i Estadística (School of Mathematics and Statistics).

Some teaching material (in Catalan):

Apunts d'eficiència d'algorismes: eficiencia.pdf

Normes de programació: normes.pdf

Online Judge

Together with professor Jordi Petit, we have built the online judge

Jutge

both for educational and competitive purposes. It contains more than 2000 programming problems.

Programming Courses for Teenagers

I organize a summer course on computer programming for pre-universitary students:

Lliçons d'Algorísmia i Programació

Programming Competitions

I am the main coach of the UPC programming teams, which have been fortunate to compete in the ACM-ICPC World Finals eleven times during the period (2004-2018).

I am also involved in the organization of the
Olimpiada Informàtica Catalana
(Catalan Olympiad in Informatics).
