Maria Aguareles is Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Universitat de Girona. Over the last two decades, she has worked on the development and analysis of mathematical models arising in physics and in industrial processes with special emphasis on the development of perturbation techniques applied to partial differential equations. She started her research career in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and at the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics where she still holds active collaborations.

 

Francesc Font is Serra-Húnter Assistant Professor in the Department. of Fluid Mechanics at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). He received his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from UPC in 2014 and has held Postdoctoral positions at the University of Limerick (Ireland), McMaster University (Canada) and UPC. In 2019, he received Juan de la CiervaSenior Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Spanish government to develop his research at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (Spain). He specialises in the mathematical modelling of transport phenomena and has worked on topics such as nanoscale heat transfer, Li-ion batteries and contaminant removal.

 

Tim Myers has over thirty years' experience in developing and applying mathematical models to practical physical situations. In the past decade, his work has focused primarily on two main subject areas, applying mathematics to better understand nanoscale phenomena and to optimise processes for the removal of environmental contaminants. He has worked at research institutes throughout the world and is currently Principal Investigator at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona as well as holding Adjunct Professor positions in Spain and Ireland. Since 2011, he has been qualified at the highest research level within the Catalan accreditation
