Academic interests

My research career has been linked to the development of new experimental methods and data analysis in the field of Biophysics, with special emphasis on calorimetry, molecular interactions, and fluid phase. I am currently working in the Center for Lifespan Changes in Brain and Cognition and the Department of Physics, interested in the applications of my mixed background to Neuroscience. Specifically, I am engaged in analyzing MRI images and cognitive tests, as well as research in brain biophysics.
