the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya from 1997.
Research
Currently, my research is mainly devoted to Cryptology.
I belong to the
Research Group on Mathematics Applied to Cryptography.
I am interested mainly in problems in Algebra and Combinatorics
related to Unconditional Security in Cryptography,
Distributed Cryptography and Public Key Cryptography.
I was a member of the Research Group on Graph Theory and
Combinatorics of our department from 1988 to 2001.
I began my research activities in this group as a PhD student.
My main interest in this area was the application
of Graph Theory to the design of Interconnection Networks.
