Associate Professor of Biophysics since 2007. He uses physical techniques (X-ray crystallography and other complementary methods) to determine the structure of biomolecules and to study their self-association in important processes, ranging from the formation of amyloid deposits by aberrant protein forms associated with neurodegenerative diseases to the controlled preparation of nanostructured biomaterials with applications in bioengineering/biomedicine. He has published more than one hundred scientific articles (H-index 35). He teaches subjects related to biophysics, medical physics, bioengineering, biomaterials, structural biochemistry, and biomechanics.
