This page gives you a look into the ‘real job’ side of my world.  You can click on the summaries to read a brief description of some of my recent and ongoing research, in plain terms. If you’re more in the mood for the scientific details, you can download the pdf files of some of my research articles that have been published in scientific journals. Like most scientific articles, they are full of information and a sure cure for insomnia.
