==== Overview of M. Sc project ====

In 2010 I started a M. Sc project for studying the dynamics of the cellular metabolic reactions with a flux networks approach under [[marcio:home|Prof. Márcio Argollo]] supervision and on collaboration with [[http://www.sns.ias.edu/~vazquez/index.html|Prof. Alexei Vázquez]] from the UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

The aim of my research was to study whether the limited solvent capacity inside the cell represents a relevant constraint on the cellular metabolic states.  I modeled cellular metabolism using linear programing techniques over a constrained  flux network, in order to determine the dynamics of the network and thus its functional states.

==== Research interest ====

  * Cellular metabolic network modeling

  * Complex networks

  * Statistical physics

  * Flux networks and optimization


==== Education ====

2010   Studied physics at the National Autonomus Univerity of Mexico (UNAM). Bch. Sc. dissertation on quantum optics, under supervision of Dr. Eduardo Nahmad, titled: "Detección homodina con resolución de número de fotones".

2012   M. Sc. in physics at the Federal Fluminense University, at the complex systems group, under supervision of Dr. Márcio Argollo.\\
