Joaquim Serra is an SNF Ambizione Fellow at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. His research mainly concerns elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, alongside reaction-diffusion equations, free boundary problems and integro-differential equations.

Serra counts several working experiences from his post-docs in Zurich and Berlin, as well as private sector experience working with big data. He was awarded 2016 Josep Teixidó Prize from the Catalan Mathematical Society, the 2018 Jose Luis Rubio de Francia Prize from the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society, and the 2019 Antonio Valle Prize from the Spanish Society of Applied Mathematics.
