Research Interests:

A significant part of my research entails studying the propagation of electrical activation waves in excitable organs, such as the heart and uterus, where the dynamics of the waves are described by nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems. We investigate the emergence of various wave patterns, including rectilinear traveling waves, spirals, and turbulent wavelets, in the tissue, and their association with pathological states, such as cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats) or labor contractile disorders.

More broadly, I'm fascinated by how life creates order through patterns that unfold across space and time, and the implications of such patterns in the functioning of living systems. Whether it's how cells selforganize to sculpt organs in embryos, how microbes gather together to improve their survival, or how electrical impulses race through cardiac tissue to trigger heartbeats, I want to understand how these intricate patterns come about through the interplay of mechanical forces, biochemical signals, and the geometry of the surrounding environment, much like a carefully choreographed act.
