Research activities

My research interests are in the areas of interdisciplinary sciences and complex systems. I apply techniques from mathematics and/or computer science to solve scientific questions raised in biology, environment, or computer science fields. Mathematical ingredients used to face complexity are discrete dynamical systems, probability and statistics, numerical analysis, differential equations and topology, while computational intelligence, optimization methods, graph theory, big data, and distributed computing are the computer science part of his research.

Current areas of application in computer science include the information security (pseudorandom number generation, symmetric ciphers, hash functions, and information hiding), wireless sensor networks (security issues, data survivability and aggregation, prognostic and health management based on WSN). In multidisciplinary sciences, he contributes to solve issues raised by colleagues in biology (microbiology, phylogeny, bioinformatics and computational biology, genomics) and environment (data analysis, clustering, etc.).
