LabMathModSSD is a place wherein we love math, programming, and collaborations. We apply mathematics to modeling diverse physical and chemical phenomena (currently also to exploring biochemical problems). Because these problems are usually complex in nature, we more often than not need computers to solve our mathematical models. Therefore, we develop our own in-house software (though we obviously use available scientific libraries, whenever possible), and we follow best practices and techniques of high-performance scientific software development.
In the lab, we are currently addressing the following problems: Theoretical thermochemistry, Gas-bubble dynamics in the human body, Fractal-growth dynamics, and Applications of computational chemistry to study weak non-covalent interactions. We have recently started exploring the protein folding problem. Other fields in which we have participated, although we have not pursued them for a few years, are Surface reconstruction from gradients (wave front sensors design), and Molecular Dynamics for Granular Materials Simulations.
If you are interested in pursuing a scientific career, please consider the Chemical Sciences Posgraduate School, wherein I currently teach. Funds for this program (both for M. Sc. and Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry) are provided via Conacyt scholarships. These scholarships can be granted to Mexican and international students.
