I received the telecommunications engineering degree in 1984, and the
Ph.D.
degree in computer science in 1988, both from the Technical
University of
Catalonia (UPC).
In 1991, I won a NATO postdoctoral
fellowship at the University of Massachusetts.
In 1999, I was visiting professor at the Oxford University
Computing Laboratory.
I was also invited professor at the Ecole Central de Nantes
and the University of
Ferrara.
I served as an associate editor of IEEE
Transactions on Robotics from 2005 to
2009, and I am currently serving as an associated editor of The
ASME Journal
of Mechanisms and Robotics, The International Journal of
Mechanics and Control,
and Revista Iberoamericana de Automática e
Informática Industrial.
My current position is Professor of Research of the Spanish National
Research
Council (CSIC) at IRI, and my current research interests are in
Geometry and
Kinematics with applications to Robotics, Computer Graphics and
Computer
Vision.
I was former director of the Instituto
de Robótica e Informática Industrial (IRI).
