Prof. Torres was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he obtained a doctoral degree in physics from the National University at La Plata. His Ph.D. was on cosmology and astrophysics of extended gravitational theories. After several years in fellowships (at Sussex University in UK, Institute for Radioastronomy in Argentina, Princeton University and the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in the USA) he moved to Barcelona to work at the Institute of Space Sciences, of which he is Director since March 2016.His research focuses on Galactic compact objects. He has published more than 200 papers in international journals.
