My research area is Symbolic Computation. I am a member of the AMAC Group.

Current projects

I am currently working on finding algorithms to decide if a given algebraic curve is parametrizable by radicals and to compute such a parametrization when it exists. See the corresponding item in the menu on the right.

My mathematical background

My Ph. D. Thesis, which I finished in March 2004 under the supervision of Jaime Gutiérrez, studied aspects of the decomposition of rational functions and related computations in function fields. Afterwards I worked with John McKay on computational aspects of Monstrous Moonshine. I have also collaborated with Tanush Shaska on hyperelliptic curves with certain automorphism groups. My current research is on the problem of parametrizing algebraic curves by radicals, in collaboration with Josef Schicho at RICAM.
