Hello and welcome to my personal home page. I live in Barcelona, Spain - a very beautiful city. Here, in parallel, I do my PhD at Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) and work as a researcher at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). I am very happy to be a piece in this so powerful scientific platform, in which UPC is a well found university in the area of computer architecture and BSC is one of the most prestigious IT research centers in the world, owning the most powerful supercomputer in Europe - MareNostrum.
At the moment my research work is about Transactional Memory - including different micro-architectural implementations, software and system tools for Transactional Memory, and benchmark applications. I am dedicated to my work and enjoy it very much. My actual research and professional interests also include multiprocessor simulators, system and core programming.
Besides computers, I spend my time together with my friends. I have very strong beliefs on friendship and the people that I accept as close to me gain an important place in my life. In my spare time or when I feel lonely, I like to read books, too. Although all the books are my favorite, I have a special interest toward classical novels. Traveling and photography are my passions and most pleasurable hobbies. I travel frequently and like to visit and explore unknown places. I always carry my digital camera, and take photos when I see something impressing. In sport, I like tennis and swimming, but I don't do neither of them much regularly. My other favorite pleasures are to drink bitter coffee in the morning and cold beer on sun set.
