Àngel Jorba earned his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Barcelona (UB) in 1991. After serving as a professor at UPC, he became a Full Professor of Applied Mathematics at UB in 1997. His research focuses on Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics, with a particular interest in space mission design and the study of quasi-periodic motions in dynamical systems. He has also developed numerical and semi-analytical tools to apply dynamical systems theory to real-world problems. Dr. Jorba coordinated the Spanish network of dynamical systems, DANCE, from 2006 to 2010 and has been a member of the Editorial Board of Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems – Series B since 2001.
He is part of the Dynamical Systems research group, specializing in areas such as astrodynamics, quasi-periodic dynamics, numerical methods for dynamical systems, and invariant manifolds.
