I have worked for many years in theoretical continuum mechanics, specifically phase transitions in solids and defect-based plasticity, but later my research interests have shifted to problems broadly related to mathematical biology.

In particular, I have worked, and am currently interested in, among others, the following topics:

- Mathematical models in evolutionary biology, such as game-theoretical approaches to the evolution of communication;

- Mathematical modeling and simulation of the structure, stability and self-assembly of protein complexes, specifically viral capsids;

- Models of networks in the limit of large graphs.

I currently supervise BSc and MSc students' projects on game theory and network science.
