Pere Brunet i Crosa
He is an engineer and retired UPC professor. From 1999 until 2011, at the Polytechnic University he was director of the Research Group in Modeling, Interaction and Visualization in Virtual Reality (MOVING), scientific manager of the Virtual Reality Center of Barcelona (CRV) and professor in the Department of Languages and Computer Systems. His research interests included computer-aided geometric design, hierarchical geometric representations, and virtual reality. Interested in scientific dissemination and the dissemination of STEM disciplines especially among young people, between 2012 and 2019, he wrote dissemination articles in the science section of the newspaper Ara, articles that have been compiled on the website of the ViRVIG center the UPC.
Marta Casanellas
She is a professor at the Dept. of Mathematics at the UPC and researcher at the Center for Mathematical Research. Her research focuses on the use of algebraic and geometric techniques in phylogenetics. She was the head of studies of the degree in Data Science and Engineering from the beginning of the degree (2018) until 2022. On the other hand , I have actively participated in mathematics dissemination activities, and from 2014 to 2017 I was a member of the Women's Committee of the European Society of Mathematics and president of the Women and Mathematics Commission of the Royal Society Spanish Mathematics.
