Tenure-eligible lecturer in Statistics

Universitat de Girona

I am a member of the research group in Statistics and Compositional Data Analysis at the University of Girona. I enjoy programming and learning how to use new programming languages. For example, I program in R/Python for statistical tasks and data management, Java for GUI development and JavaScript when web programming is required. In the past, I have used C/C++, Fortran, Visual Basic (and VBA), Stata, Matlab, Maple and Lisp. I have good notions of most common markup languages: html, LaTeX or Markdown for documents and xml or json for data structures. In my daily work, I usually work with open-source software. Nowadays, the programs I use the most are RStudio, GNU Make and Git.
