Benjamin Garcia de Figueiredo (Master student; 2020 -- )
Benjamin has Bachelor in Physics from Universidade de São Paulo - São Carlos. For his Master's work he is, broadly speaking, interested in investigating the statistical mechanical description of biological interactions, establishing connections between local mechanisms and large scale behaviors and patterns. |
Gabriel Andreguetto Maciel (Postdoctoral Researcher; 2020 --)
Gabriel has a Bachelor in physics from Universidade Federal de Paraná (Brazil) and a Master and PhD in Physics from the Instituto de Física Teórica (Sao Paulo, Brazil). Since his masters, his research has focused on population ecology. In particular, he is interested on several aspects of population dynamics in space. One of the main questions he has been trying to answer is how movement behavior in heterogeneous space affects populations persistence and spread. Reaction-diffusion models have been his main investigation tool.

Jairo M. Rojas Huamaní (Master student; 2019 --)
Jairo has a Bachelor in Physics from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Perú and a Master in Theoretical Physics from the Perimeter Institute / University of Waterloo (Canada). He is interested on studying how large scale population dynamics patterns emerge from complex individual-level interactions. More specifically, he is using stochastic models brought from statistical mechanics to explore population dynamics and analyze the effect of aging in the competition between species. He also has previous research experience in experimental physics. |
Vivian Dornelas (Postdoctoral Researcher; 2020 --)
Vivian has a Bachelor in Physics from the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF, Brazil), and a Master and Ph.D. in Physics from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio, Brazil). Her master research focused on modeling opinion dynamics in complex networks. For her Ph.D. studies she switched topics and worked on pattern formation in biological systems, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous landscapes, applying techniques of non-linear dynamical systems. Her research interests include topics in complex systems with application to biological problems, such as population dynamics and pattern formation.
