and global optimisation among others. <strong>The</strong> common point of these research topics<br />

is the description of the collective motion of large ensembles of interacting particles.<br />

This intensive research period has led to publications of the highest quality in my field<br />

receiving international attention. This has been recognised by the plenary speaker<br />

invitation to the International Conference on Industrial and Applied Mathematics<br />

(ICIAM-<strong>2023</strong>) that was held in Tokyo in August <strong>2023</strong>, the most important international<br />

event in applied mathematics, organised every four years. But also further recognised<br />

with the plenary speaker invitation at the SIMAI23, the biannual Italian Conference<br />

of Applied Mathematics, and the ENUMATH23, the European Conference on<br />

Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications <strong>2023</strong>, the most important event<br />

in Numerical Analysis and Modelling in Europe, organised every four years, both<br />

held in early September <strong>2023</strong>. My scientific status has also been recognised as a<br />

recipient of the Echegaray Medal 2022 by the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences;<br />

the highest scientific honour awarded by the Academy. I was also inducted to the<br />

Academia Europeaea in <strong>2023</strong> as member of the section of Mathematics.<br />

I continued my service to the scientific community as vice-president of the ESMTB,<br />

European Society for Mathematical and <strong>The</strong>oretical Biology, and Head of the Division<br />

of the European Academy of Sciences, Section Mathematics. I continued my service<br />

to the society by participating as the only mathematician at the scientific committee<br />

of the Spanish Research Agency. I also participated in a scientific project panel in<br />

Lithuania and the research assessment external evaluation of the Department of<br />

Mathematics of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.<br />

My dedication to high level teaching has been equally delivered by continuing the<br />

demanded course in Optimal Transportation at the Mathematical Institute. This is<br />

a popular topic in mathematical research today, with ramifications in mathematical<br />

analysis, probability theory, computational mathematics, and many applications in<br />

stochastic analysis, data science, and optimisation. <strong>The</strong> fantastic group of PDRAs<br />

of my ERC and my EPSRC projects: Rafael Bailo, Immanuel BenPorat, Antonio<br />

Esposito, Gissell Estrada-Rodriguez, Timon Gutleb, William Duncan Martinson, Pierre<br />

Roux, and Difan Yuan; delivered a superb range of applied mathematics tutorials<br />

in the <strong>College</strong> and other colleges, intercollegiate classes, and supervised several<br />

student summer projects, and master theses at the Mathematical Institute.<br />
