My research interests in short


I am interested in the following astrophysical issues:


-Strong gravitational lensing models,

-The study of high redshift galaxies through gravitational lensing,

  1. -Probing Cosmological models through gravitational lensing,

-The study of Quasars (QSOs) using optical variability.



To accomplish my scientific goals, I combine the analysis of observational data with both, numerical and  analytical modeling and data mining . My research interests lie in the realm of Cosmology and Dark Matter in groups and cluster of galaxies, as well as on the LF of  high redshifts galaxies, and finally, on the use of clusters as gravitational telescopes.
