Research

My main interest concerns the study of condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics, focussing my work in the liquid phase. I spend most of my research activity working in theory and applications to the structure and dynamics of simple and complex liquids, with special attention paid to water, alcohols and aqueous electrolyte solutions. I have performed computer simulations with several methods: molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, EVB. In the last years, I have participated in studies of rare events and its applications to biological systems.The behavior of liquid and supercritical water under confinement in carbon nanotubes or near surfaces has been analyzed. Recently, I have started to use and develop mixed quantum-classical methods applied to computer simulations of liquids.
