About me

I'm very glad you're here. Let me introduce myself.

My name is Edgar Garriga. I'm a Spanish researcher currently living in Barcelona (Spain), where I'm doing a PhD in Bioinformatics.

I've studied in different countries during my bachelor studies, I was one year in Poland, six months in States and six months in Brazil.

I have been travelling during my studies too. I visited some countries around Europe, the East coast of USA and South America.

I am involved in humanitarian task with some NGOs doing Search and Rescue tasks for refugees (Greece and Libya)

I love Internet, new technologies and all the magic I can do with them. I strongly believe that technologies have been created to help people.

Yes, I've got ants on my pants !!!

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan
