Research Interests:

I am interested in mathematical representation of the surrounding reality. The focus of my research consists in assessing the impact of the analytical and philosophical assumptions on the results.

I am also interested in

• Complex modeling: chaos and bifurcation theory
• Empirical and process based modeling
• Growth and yield
• Spatial investigations and time series analysis
• Fuzzy sets theory
• Discrete optimization
