Alex Ferrer 

Welcome to my website!

• I’m an associate researcher at CIMNE and a "Serra-Hunter" associate professor at the Physics Department at Universitat Politècnica de Catatlunya in Barcelona. 

• I have spent one year as a sponsored researcher at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. 

• I finished a three-year postdoc at Ecole Polytecnique in Paris funded by a Marie Curie Individual fellowship awarded in 2019.

• I spend one year as a Post-doc at FEMPAR group developing HPC for Topology optimization.

• I obtained my PhD in Computational Mechanics at UPC in Multi-scale topology optimization (more info here).  A copy of my thesis can be found here.

• I am currently teaching Flight mechanics, hypersonic aerodynamics  and numerical methods for optimization and machine Learning at Universitat Politècnica de Catatlunya. 

• You can check my Google Scholar and Orcid for updates.

• I am leading the development of Swan project, an open source code for Topology Optimization. 

• Curiosity is my driving force as a researcher.  I believe in collaborative research rather than competitive research. So, please do not hesitate to contact me at aferrer@cimne.upc.edu
