Biography

Professor of Structural Mechanics at Technical University of Catalonia (UPC).

After completing a degree in Civil Engineering in July 1975 at the Technical Univ. of Valencia (Spain), he started postgraduate studies at the Civil Engineering Dept. of Swansea University, Wales, UK. There he completed in June 1976 a Master of Science degree (M.Sc. Thesis on Development of a finite strip method for analysis of bridges and folded plate structures) and later a Ph.D. degree (Dec. 1978) under the supervision of Prof. O. C. Zienkiewicz (Ph. D. Thesis on Plastic flow in metals with special reference to: I) Coupled thermal flow. II) Thin sheet metal forming). His Ph.D. studies were funded by an Alcoa Research Grant from USA.

In February 1979 he moved to the Technical University of Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain, where he was hired as an Associated Professor on Structural Mechanics at the School of Civil Engineering. He became a Full Professor with tenure on June 1983. From March 1983 to March 1989 he was the Director of the School of Civil Engineering at UPC. During that period and under his personal supervision the new premises of the Civil Engineering School (? 20.000 m2) were designed and built in the new campus of UPC.

On March 1987 he founded CIMNE (International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering, www.cimne.com), a research center specialized in the development and application of numerical methods in engineering. Since 1987 he is the Executive Vice-President and Director of CIMNE. This center has grown to employ some 180 scientists and engineers from 25 different countries worldwide specialized in research activities in different fields of engineering and science (civil, mechanical, aerospace and naval engineering, bio-medical engineering, food engineering, etc.). CIMNE has received many prestigious Awards in Cataluña and by the European Commission.
