Short CV

He graduated from the Faculty of Physics, University of Barcelona , Spain, in 1987 and received the Ph.D. degree in Physics Science from Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Terrassa, Spain in 1999.
He is currently Professor in the Department of Physics of the Technical University of Catalonia, where he is also member of the research Group of Dielectric Materials. His current research interests include the electrical properties of dielectric materials (relaxations, space charge distribution, the glass transition), the electrical characterization of insulating materials and studies of the liquid crystall dimers.
