Hydrodynamic instabilities and transition to turbulence. Spectral methods for fluid dynamics. A. Meseguer obtained a BSc in Theoretical Physics from the University of Barcelona in 1992 and a PhD in Applied Physics from the Catalonian Polytechnic University. Between 1999 and 2002 he was a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at Oxford University. In 2002 he came back to the Department of Applied Physics UPC where currently carries out research and lecturing activities. Associate Professor since 2007 and to the date has supervised two PhD theses.
