Welcome
Here you can find mainly information on my current research and the associated interests, but also some selected facts, links and pictures that are important to me.
My work during PhD research at UPC centered on the applications of nonlinear dynamics to astrophysics, investigating on the possible chaotic origin of irregular variable stars. Since 2004 and after quite a course change, I am a postdoc at Ricard Sole's group, the Complex Systems Lab in Barcelona and my work concerns the analysis and the conception of biological models associated to a theoretical artificial cell. Until February 2007 my work developed in the mark of the EU-funded PACE project aiming at the theoretical and experimental realization of a synthetic protocell. I'm still very interested in exploring the transition from the chemical to the biological level, including biochemical cycles, spatial pattern formation, emergent robustness and regulation mechanisms in biological systems. Presently, I am working in the mark of EU-funded Project SYNLET to develop deterministic and stochastic models of cancer-cell molecular networks. In addition, my long-term interests are related to the mathematics of evolutionary developmental biology and RNA world.
I was an extremely lucky person to be able to continue to satisfy as an adult the curiosity for my childhood passions: astrophysics and biology. If my luck continues in the future, someday I might be able to combine these two research fields.
