Summary:

My research is about applying Discrete Event System methods to biological systems. The goal is to model the dynamics of the cell using DES, and applying supervisory control methods to achieve prediction, recovery and computational simulation for early detection, accurate prognosis and effective treatment of cancer.

Research Interests:

• Systems Biology
• Knowledge Management
• Knowledge Representation using Fuzzy Petri nets
• Discrete Event Supervisory Control
• Cancer treatment
