Research Interests

  • Law dimensional dynamical systems (statistical properties, complexity, chaos).
  • Extended dynamical systems (dimension, entropy).
  • Stochastic processes (quasi invariant measures, ratio limit theorems, statistical aspects).
  • Statistical Mechanics (concentration properties, fluctuations).
  • Continuum Mechanics (Hopkinson pressure bars, signal analysis, material properties).
