My research interests lie in the area of nonlinear dynamics systems. The emphasis is on understanding complex systems using both analytical methods and numerical experiments. I am particularly interested at the study of the functions from the structure of ion channels, which are natural nanotubes in cellular membranes that control a vast range of biological functions in health and disease.

As a multidisciplinary research field, it brings together Biophysicists and Physicists. Continuous theory was used to solve the problem of access resistance to the channel analytically. Combining Poisson's equation to determine the electrostatic potential energy and Langevin equation to determine ions trajectories through Brownian dynamics simulations, it was shown that ion channel can be seen as electrostatic amplifiers of charge fluctuations.
