Information of interest
I am an applied mathematician currently working on the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases. I'm interested in applying mathematical modeling and computer simulation methods to problems in biology, ecology, and public health.
I have significant experience in the analysis and formulation of mathematical models, Kermack-McKendrick-type models, computer programming, optimal control theory and bifurcation analysis. I am open to any projects, as long as they fall broadly into the area of mathematical and computational modeling in life sciences applications.

Optimal vaccination strategies for a heterogenous population using multiple objectives: The case of L1 and L2-formulations
Saldaña, F.
; Kebir, A.; Camacho-Gutiérrez, J. A.; Aguiar, M. (2023-12)
The choice of the objective functional in optimization problems coming from biomedical and epidemiological applications plays a key role in optimal control outcomes. In this study, we investigate the role of the objective ...

Modeling the transmission dynamics and vaccination strategies for human papillomavirus infection: An optimal control approach
Saldaña, F.; Camacho-Gutiérrez, J. A.; Villavicencio-Pulido, G.; Velasco-Hernández, J. X. (2022-12)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been introduced in several countries and have shown positive results in reducing HPV infection and related diseases. Nevertheless, immunization programs remain sub-optimal and more ...
