About me
I am an Ikerbasque tenure-track Researcher at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), and at Ikerbasque, the Basque Foundation for Science. My research is in the fields of computational stochastics, uncertainty quantification and computational and industrial mathematics, with a focus on multilevel (quasi-) Monte Carlo methods, PDEs with random coefficients, reduced- and mixed-precision numerical algorithms, and biomedical computing.

Interested in doing a PhD or a postdoc in my group?
Drop me an email with your CV!
Note that I can only accept PhD applicants with an equivalent Spanish GPA of 7.5 or above in their undergraduate degree. See this document (in Spanish) for GPA conversion tables.

Software
I am an extensive user of and occasional contributor to FEniCS, libsupermesh and Pragmatic.
BLUEST: Python package for single- and multi-output multilevel best linear unbiased estimation: here.
FEMLMC: FEniCS-based multilevel (quasi) Monte Carlo software for PDEs with random coefficients: here.
Basic multilevel Monte Carlo routines in Python: here.
C++ and Python low-precision emulator software: here.
