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.
