Colleges, and Barcelona University for over twenty years. Since
1993 a member of the National Higher Research Council of Spain (CSIC),
where he is a Senior Research Professor and Principal Investigator
of various projects—including a top rated Consolider one
(group project)—and team leader of both a Consolider-Ingenio
2010 (CPAN) and a European Union project (CASIMIR). Has been
awarded an Honorary Professorship from Tomsk TSPU University,
Russia. He is also a recipient of the Gold Medal of TSPU University.
A special functions expert and a cosmologist, author of
several of the leading references in the fields of Zeta Functions
and Heat Kernels, and their applications to Theoretical Physics
and Cosmology, and of three influential books published by
Springer Verlag and World Scientific. Catalonia’s top mathe-
matical physicist, according to the Reports issued by the
Institute for Catalan Studies, he confesses to be very proud of his
former students, which list includes Prof. J. Soto, Dr. A. Romeo,
Prof. S. Gómez, Dr. S. Leseduarte, Dr. S.R. Hildebrandt news,
Dr. P. Fosalba, and Prof. E. Gaztañaga, among others.

two last he is the Founding Editor-in-Chief. Acts as referee for
some fifty international journals, among which, e.g., Physical
Review Letters, the Journal of Mathematical Physics and the
Journal of Number Theory. He’s been working as a consultant,
