Interest:
My research interest is in theoretical and applied statistics and nonlinear models of complex processes with applications in several fields: astronomy, biology, climatology, economy, geology, medicine and social biology. I am currently studying solar and astronomical causes of climate change and modeling of physiological systems for diagnosing hypoxia and hyperoxia risk patients.
