I hold degree in Mathematics (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona). I got my PhD at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya specializing in factorial analysis and, more specifically, within correspondence analysis and problems related with their inertia. Currently, I am Associate Professor of Statistics in the Department of Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Statistics of the Universitat de Girona. My teaching responsibilities include basic statistics courses (in the Faculties of Medicine and Sciences) as well as advanced multivariate statistics methods, focusing in factorial techniques and clustering
My primary research interests are around the statistical analysis of compositional data. I have contributed to the development of specific methodologies for compositional data and their applications across different fields such as geology, archaeology, animal welfare, sport sciences, and linguistics. Additionally, I apply statistics to medical research, particularly in radiology and medical imaging, focusing on heart attacks, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. As a member of the CoDa-group, I have participated in numerous compositional data research projects. For further information, feel free to visit https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6134-9255.
Since 2006, I have been actively engaged in CoDa research and have collaborated on related activities such as CoDaWork, CoDaCourse, and CoDaPack. As a founding member of the CoDa Association, I am deeply committed to promoting, developing, and disseminating the theory and application of CoDa, in alignment with our statutes. I strongly believe in the importance and value of being part of a scientific working group, as the Coda-Association: unity makes strength. Looking ahead, I would like to dedicate part of my future efforts to maintaining compositional balances and budgets, bank accounts, and all other needs of our society as a treasurer.
