I am an associate professor at the Institute for Mathematical & Computational Engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. 

My research interests revolve around applied mathematics, machine learning, and computational biophysics. Recently, my group has also been exploring data-driven modeling and Bayesian approaches to model selection.

Curious about the header image? You can find more details in this article and this video. Other specific interests include:

• Dissipative particle dynamics and mesoscale computational modeling; see our papers on lipid bilayer membranes and DNA diffusion in nano-fluidic devices.
• Probabilistic modeling of biological processes; see, e.g., my work with collaborators on evolutionary game theory.
• Data-driven modeling and Bayesian uncertainty quantification; see, e.g., our papers on epidemics in population networks, DNA methylation, and biological micro-swimmers.
• Homogenized descriptions of oxygen transport in arterial networks and reconstructive tissue flaps.

I also enjoy working on projects with a more theoretical flavor, particularly those involving stochastic partial differential equations, random media, and stochastic homogenization.

My current research is funded in part by a Fondecyt Regular grant. Previous research has been funded by the US National Science Foundation through NSF CAREER award #1552903 and NSF CDS&E-MSS award #1521266.

Lastly, I am an associate editor for the mathematics section of Royal Society Open Science.
