Professor Laura P. Schaposnik (University of Illinois Chicago) will speak at the IMTech Colloquium on Wednesday, November 18, at 12:00 PM in aula 101 (FME). Her research lies at the intersection of geometry, topology, and mathematical physics—particularly Higgs bundles and integrable systems—as well as applied mathematical modeling, work for which she received the 2025 PECASE
On Friday, 13th of November 2026, the Third «IMTech Day» will take place at the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics of UPC. This event will host talks by Sarah Zerbes (ETH Zurich), Maria Bras (UPC) and Gissell Estrada (UPC & CRM) and is an opportunity for master and PhD students to present their ongoing research.
We are pleased to announce the addition of new faculty members to the IMTech. Our growing community brings together researchers across diverse fields, including algebra, geometry, dynamical systems, mathematical modelling, computer science, and statistics. Their expertise will further strengthen our collaborative research environment and academic initiatives. We warmly welcome our new colleagues and invite you
Prof. Simeon Ball (IMTech) has co-authored a study that solves a 250-year-old mathematical puzzle on Latin squares, developed in collaboration with Robin Simoens from Ghent University. Their work demonstrates that quantum entanglement is essential to finding a solution to this centuries-old problem, offering insights that could significantly contribute to the development of improved quantum error-correcting
Prof. Jezabel Curbelo (IMTech, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech) has been awarded an honorable mention at the 15th Duran Farell Prize for Technological Research 2026 (15è Premi Duran Farell d’Investigació Tecnològica). This biannual distinction honors outstanding contributions to technological research carried out in Spain. The recognition was granted in the category of female researchers
