Teaching

Over the last few years, I have been involved in the teaching of the following courses:

Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics:

Condensed Matter: 

Physics of Continuous Media: 

  • An undergraduate course for students on their third year at the School of Physics, Universitat de Barcelona. This is a new EEES course that offers an introduction to classical elasticity theory and its applications, as well as to real fluid dymamics.
  • Follow the link for further information about this course on the Physics of Continuous Media.

Statistical Physics: 

  • An undergraduate course for students on their third year at the School of Physics, Universitat de Barcelona. This is a new EEES course that offers an introduction to the statistical behavior of ideal many body systems in equilibrium conditions. It includes the study of classical and quantum systems and several applications.
  • Follow the link for further information about this course on elementary Statistical Physics.

Collective Phenomena and Phase Transitions: 

  • An undergraduate course for students on their fourth year at the School of Physics, Universitat de Barcelona. This is a new EEES course that offers an introduction to the statiscal mechanics of interacting many body systems.
  • Follow the link for further information about this course on Collective Phenomena and Phase Transitions.
