IV. Research and Publications:

Research: My main interests are Topological Dynamics on surfaces and Bifurcation Theory of vector fields, including global dynamics and classification of injective maps. I am also interested on dynamical systems with symmetry and applications to Differential Equations. Recently, I am curious about Numerical Analysis and applications to Engineering.
