About Me
My scientific dream is the understanding of the origin, evolution and
coexistence of diversity in biological networks. Every day I try to get
closer to that dream by learning from great people around the world. My
current research at EAWAG is focusing in the integration of highly
heterogeneous data at different biological levels and spatial scales
using mainly stochastic models. My final attempt is to unify the
fascinating details of biological systems in a general and testable
framework.
