Currently my research deals with applications of Monte Carlo techniques in processes involving radiations, particularly, in the fields of dosimetry and radiation protection for space missions and medical applications, and data analysis of radiation monitors. I work also on in relativistic calculations of atomic structures related with Auger cascades in radionuclides for targeted cancer therapy and calculations of fundamental Atomic parameters as well as in applications of Monte Carlo techniques for elemental quantification in X-ray fluorescence techniques.
