I have a degree in Biology and another in Informatics Engineering. This is a consequence of the path I envision for my career. I have an interest in Systems Biology that span from an Ecological to a Molecular perspective. This interest implies not only the study of biological phenomena but also the creation and development of tools and algorithmic approaches that make the researchers life easier. This includes data acquisition, representation and visualization. I also have an interest in ideas and technologies behind the data analysis and representation as well as artificial intelligence algorithms and methodologies.
