Español Garrigós, José
Professor Español got his PhD in Physics in 1992 at the Universidad
Nacional de Educación a Distancia in Madrid. After a postdoctoral stay at
the University of Cambridge as a Marie Curie Fellowship holder during
1993-1994, wherehe joined the Group of Polymer and Colloids of the
Cavendish Laboratory, he was Assistant Professor from 1998 to 2010 at UNED
and has been on sabbatical leave during the year 2009 as a Senior Fellow
at the FRIAS
Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies. He is Full Professor since 2010
of Applied Physics at the Department of Fundamental Physics of the
Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, based in Madrid. His
research interests are in Soft Matter, complex fluids and dynamic
descriptions of complex molecular structures. He is an expert in
simulation particle methods applied to the simulation of hydrodynamics of
simple and complex fluids. He has contributed substantially to the
development of the Dissipative Particle Dynamics method which is one very
popular method for the simulation of coarse-grained models for complex
fluids. He is most interested in the theoretical foundations and
thermodynamic consistency of new simulation methods based on
coarse-graining.
