Fields of Interest

I consider myself passionate about many fields of science, but out of all, I currently research and find great satisfaction in the following:

• Network Science. An interdisciplinary interest of analyzing and modeling networks and networked dynamical systems, yielding results in physics, mathematics, computer science, biology, economics, and sociology.

• Social Network Analysis. The study of social relationships in terms of graph theory, modeling individuals and friendships (also my Ph.D. research topic).

• Social Psychology. The scientific analysis of how people's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by the presence of others, facilitated through empirical methods of investigation.

• Gamification. The application of game elements and mechanics in non-game contexts to engage people in solving problems, improving engagement, return on investment, data quality, timeliness, and learning.

• Network Medicine. The study of disease through complex network theory that offers a new perspective on disease prediction, diagnosis and evolution.

Other topics that always make curious are: security and cryptography, networks-on-chip, nVidia CUDA and graphics engines.
