I was born in Barcelona in 1945 and I obtained a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Barcelona in 1972. My advisor was Professor Marco Ademollo of Università di Firenze.

I have been a Professor of Physics at the University of Barcelona since 1991. I have also held several Visiting Professor positions at different universities such as Università di Firenze, Queens and City College of University of New York, Yukawa Institute at Kyoto, Toho University, University of Texas at Austin, Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences of University of Kyoto, Theory Group at CERN, University of Miami, Institute for Theoretical Physics KU Leuven, Centro de Estudios Científicos en Valdivia, Perimeter Institute, Tokyo Institute of Technology, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) at Tsukuba, University of Miami, Universidad Católica Santiago de Chile, Australian National University at Canberra, University of Groningen and Universidad Austral de Chile at Valdivia.

My main research interest is to understand the symmetries that describe the physics of particles at the most fundamental level.

Our knowledge concerning the most fundamental level of the structure of matter is based on two well established pillars: the Standard Model of particle physics and General Relativity, the theory of gravity. It is natural to ask about a possible unification of the gravitational interactions with the other quantum field theories. The only candidate so far is string theory. It is a theory under construction.

The holographic ideas applied to string theory allow to connect quantum fields theories in the flat space-time with string-gravitational interactions in the bulk.
