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 />
