Research

Interests and links

Main subject of interest: Discrete/Combinatorial/Computational Geometry

(visit the Computational Geometry Internet Resources page to find information about CG sites, mailing lists, news, groups, courses, books, journals, events, and more information about Computational Geometry).

Responsible for the UPC Computational Geometry Group .

Research activities in Computational Geometry started at the UPC in the early nineties, with the work of Professors Hurtado, Noy, Serra and Trias. An official Line of Research (UPC code 12030905) was created in 1993. Due to the background of many members of the Group, the interface with Combinatorics and Graph Theory is an specially active area of research.

The UPC Computational Geometry Seminar is organized by the Research Group on Discrete, Combinatorial and Algorithmic Geometry of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, under the responsability of Profs. Hurtado and Noy. The Seminar started its regular sessions at the beginning of the course 1993-1994. Since then, it has been regularly hold once a week, in the period September-June.

The UPC PhD Program on Applied Mathematics is jointly held by several departments and sections at the UPC and is coordinated at the School of Mathematics and Statistics. There are four main branches: Algebra and Geometry, Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics, Computational Mechanics (Differential Partial Equations and Numerical Methods) and Dynamic Systems (Control and Modelling). The additional areas are Functional Equations, Stochastic Models and Mathematical Models for Qualitative Reasoning.

LIMDA (Laboratori de Matemàtica Discreta i Algorísmica) is a joint Lab of several research groups at the UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) which share a common interest in the area of Discrete Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science and Applications. The laboratory was founded in 1997 as a meeting place for the researchers of the area in the UPC, to foster cooperation and to coordinate the collaboration in research projects at regional, national and european levels.
