Personal website at IkerbasqueMy first researches have been related to mathematical studies of phase transitions associated with Bose gases. Since then, the bulk of my research has considerably widened and covers a scope from mathematical analyzes of the quantum many body problem to operator algebras, stochastic processes, differential equations, game theory, convex and functional analysis. I am particularly interested in the mathematical foundations of statistical mechanics with applications in the study of phase transitions and transport properties.
