Projects

Fluctuations of the Earth's magnetic field

We try to analyse the Earth's magnetic field fluctuations from an statistical physics perspective, and provide mechanisms for some of its salient features. (Thanks to A. Molina for the beautiful image)

Stochastic Thermodynamics

The recent technological advances in micromanipulation and force-sensing techniques have brought access to the dynamics and energy changes that affect mesoscopic physical systems described by few degrees of freedom

Biofilms

Biofilms are formed by communities of microorganisms which secrete a polymeric extracellular matrix. Biofilm formation has important impacts on medicine and food industry.

Biophysics

Biological systems are beautiful examples of systems arbitrarily far from equilibrium.
