Dr. Bras-Amorós received the Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics in 2003. Her doctoral research was developed at San Diego State University (SDSU), California, with Michael E. O'Sullivan and at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) with Sebastià Xambó. She holds full professor accreditations of AGAUR (2012) and ANECA (2015). She is currently an associate professor at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) and has been with the UPC and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. She collaborates regularly with SDSU in California, the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Chosun University in Korea.

Having done research in the areas of coding theory, discrete mathematics and data privacy, and also some incursions to scientometrics and music theory, her main topic is that of numerical semigroups. She authored 41 journal publications, according to ISI-WOS, 6 in the first decile and 6 more in the second decile of the impact factor in the area. She has 7 articles (2 as single author and 3 more as first author) at IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (Q1,D1). Other journals that published her papers are Computers and Math. with Appl. (Q1,D1), Mathematics of Computation (Q1,D2), IEEE Trans. on Dependable and Secure Computing (Q1,D1), J. of Pure and Applied Algebra (Q2), Designs, Codes and Crypt. (Q2), Data and Knowledge Engin. (Q2), International J. of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems (Q2), Semigroup Forum (Q2), Discrete Applied Math. (Q2), Linear Algebra and Its Appl. (Q2), as well as J. of Informetrics (Q1, D1), in the area of information and documentation sciences.

The outstanding contribution of Dr. Bras-Amorós in the mathematical field of numerical semigroups can be seen by a topic search in Web of Science of the topic ``numerical semigroup''. She authored 22 out of the 381 records found by the search, being the third most prolific author out of more than 100 authors, only after Rosales with 75 records and García-Sánchez with 39. She authored as single author the third and sixth most cited articles found by the topic search.

She is the main researcher of the research group COPRICA (Codes, Privacy and Algebraic Combinatorics) at URV. She has been principal investigator in 3 competitive research projects of the Plan Nacional (TIN2009-11689, TIN2012-32757, TIN2016-80250-R), ranging from 52000 to 88000 euros, and from 6 to 14 team members. She was part of 4 further projects of the Plan Nacional, two Euorpean projects (H2020-644024, H2020-700540) and one project from the US National Science Foundation (CCF-0916492).

She advised 2 PhD theses (Klara Stokes 2011, Albert Vico 2012) and is currently advising 2 further students (José M. Serradilla, Marta Pujol).

She gave plenary talks in 4 conferences (Duluth, Athens, Barcelona, Cork) and 2 plenary courses (Soria, Ubatuba). She was the general chair of 2 international conferences in Tarragona (Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes, 2009, and International School on Coding Theory and Applications, 2013). She will be the Project Director of the 2022 SDSU Math Research Experience for Undergrads in California.

She is a member of the Spanish research network on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation and Applications (EACA), the research network Mathematics in the Information Society (MATSI), being a coordinator in 2009-2013 and 2015-now, and the Spanish network on Monoids and Applications, from which she was one of the founders.

She has been an evaluator of the panel of Plan Nacional projects, and an evaluator of the National and International Fellowships of La Caixa Foundation.
