ENTREVISTA

Quina és la teva ciutat natal?

Sant Feliu de Llobregat

On vas estudiar?

A la Universitat de Barcelona

Quina era la teva assignatura preferida?

En els estudis preuniversitaris les matemàtiques, a la carrera la topologia

Què volies ser de petita? Ja mostraves algun interès pel que has estudiat? Semre ho has tingut clar?

No volia ser res en concret, el que m’agradava era aprendre, i sobretot aprendre matemàtiques

Què vas estudiar?

Matemàtiques

Quan ho vas decidir?

De fet de sempre, però la carrera i el lloc ja en concret, quan feia 5e de batxillerat (el que ara és de quart d’ESO)

Creus que et vas sentir condicionada a l’hora d’escollir d’estudiar una carrera del àmbit de les TIC?

Quan vaig fer la carrera no hi havia encara la carrera d’informàtica, dins de matemàtiques es començava a estudiar llenguatges de programació de manera optativa dins la carrera de matemàtiques, que jo sí que vaig escollir de forma voluntària

Com va reaccionar la teva família al saber el que volies estudiar?

Bé, els hi va semblar bé ja que des de sempre m’havia agradat estudiar matemàtiques

Tenies alguna companya a la carrera és a dir, quantes dones éreu?

Érem casi la meitat, però més nois que noies

Tenies alguna professora?

Sí, una

Has realitzat algun estudi més a part de la primera carrera?

Un DEA en matemàtiques i un Doctorat en matemàtiques

Quin treball has tingut després de finalitzar els estudis?

Professora d’universitat

Exactament en que consisteix la teva feina?

Impartir classes d’àlgebra lineal i càlcul infinitesimal i integral, i recerca

Has realitzat alguna investigació o projecte relacionat amb el teu àmbit?

Sí, tota la meva recerca és en l’àmbit de les matemàtiques i també recerca en innovació docent (l’ús de les TIC en la docència)

En cas afirmatiu, quin?

He participat i liderat en varis projectes

En l’actualitat estic liderant el projecte: Estudio matemático de sistemas multiagentes. Aplicación al análisis de la controlabilidad de las redes estructurales cerebrales para la

detección temprana de la discalculia

Has notat mai alguna diferència en el món laboral pel fet de ser dona?

Sí, concretament, quan vaig tenir el primer fill quan passava per el passadís els companys deien: “una dona amb fills no pot estar en un departament de matemàtiques” (vaig ser la primera dona que va entrar a treballar en el departament),

INTERVIEW

Which is your hometown?

Sant Feliu of Llobregat

Where did you study

At Barcelona's University

What was your favorite subject?

In pre-university studies maths, to the topology career

What did you want to be small? Is there any interest in what has been studied? Has Semre been clear about it?

I did not want to be anything specific, what I liked was learning, and above all learning mathematics

What did you study?

Maths

When did you decide?

In fact always, but the race and the place already in concrete, when it was 5th of high school (the one that is now of fourth of ESO)

Do you think that you feel conditioned when choosing to study a career in the field of ICT?

When I finished the race there was not yet a computer career, in mathematics I began to study programming languages in an elective way in the mathematics career, which I did, I chose voluntarily

How did your family react to knowing what you wanted to study?

Well, it seemed good to you since I've always liked to study mathematics

Did you have any partner in the race, how many women were you?

We were almost half, but more boys than girls

Did you have a teacher?

Yes, one

Have you done any study apart from the first race?

A DEA in mathematics and a PhD in mathematics

What work did you have after finishing your studies?

Teacher of university

Exactly what does your job consist of?

Provide classes of linear algebra and infinitesimal and integral calculus, and research

Have you done any research or project related to your area?

Yes, all my research is in the field of mathematics and also research in teaching innovation (the use of ICT in teaching)

If it is affirmative, wich?

I have participated and led in several projects

At present I'm leading the project: Mathematical study of multi-agent systems. Application to the analysis of the controllability of the structural brain networks for the

early detection of discalculia

What opine on the paper of the women at the TIC? Creus that have the same opportunities that the men?

Although every time have more weight, the ceiling of crystal is present

Have you ever noticed a difference in the workplace due to being a woman?

Yes, specifically, when I had my first child as I passed through the corridor, my colleagues said: "a woman with children can not be in a mathematics department" (I was the first woman to go to work in the department),
