On January 2020, he has come back to the GESSI research group at UPC thanks to a Beatriz Galindo position. The purpose of the Beatriz Galindo positions is the attraction of research talent that has carried out part of her/his professional career abroad. It favors the recruitment and training of research human capital and its mobility in sectors of national strategic interest, and promotes the quality and competitiveness of teaching and research staff in Spanish universities.
