Research interests:
My main current research lines are the following:
- Stochastic geometry, using tools from kinetic roughening. Characterization of goedesics and isochrones on random spaces, both discrete and continuous, and relation to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. This project bears mathematical analysis, numerical simulations and, in the future, real data analysis (e.g. on real maps). My collaborators are from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Prof. Rodolfo Cuerno, and Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, Prof. Javier Rodríguez-Laguna and Prof. Perdo Cordoba.
- Biological growth, and the analysis of the universality classes of the interfaces of bacterial colonies and cell aggregates, combining theory, numerical simulations and experiments. In this line I collaborate with the group of Prof. Silvio Ferreira at Universidade Federal de Viçosa (Brasil), and also at UC3M.
- Quantum technologies, analysis of entanglement in quantum disordered systems and spin glasses, with applications in quantum computation. Recently, also analysis of symmetry-protected topological phases. This work is done in collaboration with the group of Prof. Germán Sierra at Instituto de Física Teórica (UAM-CSIC).
