I have been a faculty member in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Zaragoza since 1994 (Tenured Lecturer in 2000 and Associate Professor in 2007) and I have been recognized with five five-year teaching periods. A significant part of my research has focused on the numerical approximation of singularly perturbed elliptic and parabolic problems, which was the topic of my Ph.D. thesis (1999). My research interests also include the numerical approximation of fractional differential equations, local Fourier analysis for multigrid methods, and the design of reduced-order models applied to hyperbolic equations, the latter developed in collaboration with the Computational Hydraulics and Hemodynamics Group at the University of Zaragoza.

I have 79 publications in collaboration with 20 co-authors, from China, Ireland, Nederland, Russia, and Spain, and with 2,163 citations in Scopus and 2,960 in Google Scholar. Many result from long-term collaborations with Profs. E. O’Riordan and M. Stynes, supported by research stays in China, Ireland, and Zaragoza. I was funded by Caja Inmaculada (3 months, 2004), Government of Aragón (6 months, 2012), the program Salvador de Madariaga (3 months, 2013), the Beijing Computational Science Research Center (short stays in 2016, 2019, 2024 and 2025), and the Dublin City University; and my research has been continuously supported by national projects since 1998 and by regional projects funded by the Government of Aragón since 2003. I have delivered around 60 talks, including two plenaries (India, 2019, 2020) and invited talks in special sessions at CEDYA, RSME, ENUMATH,…

In academic administration, I was Vice-Director of Escuela de Ingeniería Técnica de Zaragoza (2009-11) and I have been Academic Secretary of the Instituto Universitario de Investigación de Matemáticas y Aplicaciones at the University of Zaragoza since 2018. I have participated in the organization of  the international conferences BAIL 2010 and CEDYA/CMA 2022 (Zaragoza) and I am responsible for the biennial Zaragoza-Pau conferences (2018, 2022, and 2024, Jaca) organized jointly by both universities. I applied for funding from the Government of Aragón and the University of Zaragoza to support this conference, and I have been organizing special sessions since 2016.

In supervision, I have co-supervised one Ph.D. thesis (2024), two Master’s theses (2024 and 2025), ten Final Degree Projects, and two Bachelor’s theses. I am currently co-supervising two Ph.D. theses and one Bachelor’s thesis.

* h-index: 21 (Scopus), 25 (Google Scholar)
* Four six-year research periods: 2006, 2012, 2018, and 2024

* Ongoing Ph.D. theses: L. Sánchez: Patient-specific data assimilation for hemodynamic modeling (funded by Government of Aragón, 2025-28), R. Selva: Study of long-term growth models in biological problems
* Project evaluator, Czech Science Foundation (GACR), 2023
* Organizer and Editor of Proceedings: CEDYA/CMA, 2023 (Zaragoza, 2022); and Zaragoza-Pau Conference, 2024 (Jaca, 2022); and (Jaca, 2024) edition in preparation
* Participant in Spanish State Research Agency projects (2020-23, 2023-26, four projects with 50% dedication) and Government of Aragón projects (2020-22, 2023-25)
