MSc in physics at the University of Barcelona in 1980 and PhD at the same university in 1985. Grant holder of the NATO Scientific Programme for a postdoctoral stay at the University of Edinburgh (1985–1987) with Prof. D. J. Wallace. Contract at Temple University (Philadelphia, 1987–1989) with Prof. James D. Gunton, during which time I obtained a tenured professorship at the University of the Balearic Islands. Scientific researcher at the CSIC in March 1992 and professor at the University of the Balearic Islands in January 1994. I am currently a professor in the area of Condensed Matter Physics and director of the Department of Complex Systems of IFISC. My research activity has focused on the field of statistical and non-linear physics, covering theoretical, fundamental, and methodological aspects, with an important component in the field of computational physics. I have published more than 200 articles with more than 5000 citations and two books. I have supervised 14 PhD students. I am the director of the master's degree in Physics of Complex Systems at the UIB. In 2016 I received the Prize for the Best Teaching Article in the publications of the Real Sociedad Española de Física (RSEF). I was president of the GEFENOL, thematic group of Statistical and Nonlinear Physics of the RSEF in the period 2.013-2019. Since 2016, I have been a member of the Board of the Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division of the European Physical Society.
