Activities:

• Editor of Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation. The journal publishes original research findings on experimental observation, mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, for more accurate description, better prediction or novel application, of nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering. It offers a venue for researchers to make rapid exchange of ideas and techniques in nonlinear science and complexity.
• Editor of Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy. This is an international journal concerned with the broad topic of celestial mechanics and its applications, as well as with peripheral disciplines. It is the journal of record in its field and is an indispensable component of reference libraries on Dynamical Astronomy, Astrodynamics and Dynamical Systems.
• Editor of Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B. This is an interdisciplinary journal focused on the interplay between mathematical analysis and scientific applications. It is centered around dynamics, covering a broad range of applied areas including physical, chemical, engineering, financial, biomedical, and life sciences.
• In our research group we have developed a Beowulf cluster called HIDRA. I'm also working on several tasks related to this cluster, mainly in the design of parallel numerical methods (including software) for dynamical systems problems.

Research interests:

• Dynamical systems: Celestial mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, KAM theory, normal forms, diffusion.
• Numerical methods: Integration of ODE, computation of invariant objects (invariant tori, invariant manifolds), computational KAM theory.
• Applications: Dynamical astronomy, spacecraft dynamics, mission analysis.
• Parallel computing: use of Beowulf clusters in dynamical systems problems.

Other topics of interest:

• PDEs: Numerical methods (spectral and FEM), use of dynamical systems tools to study dynamical PDEs (like the Poiseuille flow or water waves).
• Applications of dynamical systems to any field of sciences: molecular dynamics, atmospheric dynamics, etc.
