Humanities

Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)

While my background and academic career is centered around quantum information and mathematical physics, in recent years I have been thinking about questions in philosophy and linguistics, mainly around notions of universality and unreachability.

Eskicioglu, Cigdem

Engineering Sciences

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)

As an environmental engineer, I develop technologies to convert waste into valuable resources, aiming for a biorefinery and circular economy. My research tackles industrialization and urbanization challenges by designing advanced reactor processes for contaminant removal and waste-to-biofuel conversion.

Gualtieri, Marco

Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)

I work in geometry and mathematical physics, with a focus on developing mathematical structures with applications to quantum field theory. My main contributions have been in generalized complex and Kähler geometry, Poisson geometry, singular differential equations and discrete geometry. 

Guxens Junyent, Monica

Life & Medical Sciences

My research focuses on investigating how environmental factors, mainly air pollution, temperature, electromagnetic fields, and persistent and non-persistent chemicals, affect children's health, in particular brain development. 

Rasella, Davide

Social & Behavioural Sciences

Institut de Salut Global Barcelona (ISGlobal)

I am driven to develop innovative approaches and advanced methods to evaluate the impact of social protection policies and primary health care on poverty-related diseases, health disparities, and preventable mortality, particularly among the most vulnerable populations.

Roca Aparicio, Anna
