Research interests

My main research interest is to construct genetic and metabolic models of individual bacterial cells interacting through the environment. The purpose of these models is to predict population-level behavior from single-cell information with the aim of controlling complex ecological and evolutionary processes. 

In particular, my research focuses on the design of optimal antibiotic deployment protocols that minimize conditions promoting the evolution of antimicrobial resistance.
