Hello,

As you can see, I leaving my current "pure IT" job inside Telefonica I+D. If you know of any interesting job offer (mathematical finance, financial IT, non commutative geometry, particle physics, or even the relationship between photosynthesis and origin of life...) around in Europe, please write me at rivero@sol.unizar.es

You can download the LaTeX source of my resume, or directly a Postscript version.

A htmlized dvi2tty dump of it follows in this page.

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY

2001-Teacher (computing) at Univ. de Zaragoza, Teruel.
2000-2001 Teacher (math and computers) at Univ. Carlos III, Madrid.
1999 Programmer at Marconi, Rochester, England, UnitedKingdom, EU.
Nov 1997 - Nov 1998 UNIX System Manager and systems integrator, APEX (Madrid), assigned to Telefonica I+D to work in the development of the email service "Telefonica Infomail". This project is the main email and gatewaying service to be deployed in Spain, aiming to install about fifty service centrals along the country, with a strong interest in management of big clients and value added service modules.

OTHER

Languages

Native Spanish. Good level of English and of spoken French, fair level of written French. Some capabilities of interaction in other european latin languages. Slight understanding of written German.

Scientific Publications

In collaboration with local and european groups, I have made five peer-reviewed research publications, in the fields of discretized lattice calculus, and of mathematical physics in general.

Scientific Courses and Meetings

I have attended to some postgraduate mathematical schools,

Karpacz 1992, "Geometry of Infinite-dimensional spaces"
GIFT XIII (also NATO AS), "Integrable Systems...", 1992.
EIFT I, "Renormalizacion: Teoria y Practica", 1993.
Les Houches 1995 (also NATO AS), "Quantum Symmetries"
EMS 1997, "Non Commutative Geometry and applications", Lisboa.

as well as to the main international meetings of the field, then stablishing a strong network of contacts.

Generic

The department I have mainly worked for, theoretical physics, has a very flat organization and most tasks are done in cooperative groups, which drives oneself to develop a good training for teamworking.

Last year I have begun the study of modern financial calculus, following the standard texts (Hull, Wilmott, ), as well as the proposals coming from physics fields (Feigenbaum Numerix, or Bouchaud Science et Finance). You are welcome to visit my collected online bibliography
