BIO

I am interested in systems out of equilibrium, in a variety of (apparently) different contexts. From cellular motility to nano-confined fluids, from immune-cancer dynamics to brain oscillations, I am fascinated by the patterns and strategies that Nature creates far from equilibrium. Questions that arise in these situations embrace a number of different areas of applied mathematics and mathematical physics, ranging from statistical mechanics, non equilibrium thermodynamics and classical molecular dynamics to dynamical systems, bifurcation theory, PDEs, ODEs and agent-based modeling techniques.
