    Brief research description
    I am interested in relations between dynamics, dimension theory, ergodic theory and fractal geometry, for smooth transformations and for iterated function systems. Some of the areas that I worked in are: dynamics of hyperbolic endomorphisms, dimension theory for fractals, thermodynamic formalism on saddle sets for non-invertible maps, probabilities on fractals, SRB measures, chaotic behaviour, various notions of entropy and pressure, finite or infinite iterated function systems (with or without overlaps), complex dynamics in several variables, measures and positive currents defined dynamically, Julia sets, attractors, quantization for IFS, etc. I am also interested in some applications of dynamics and ergodic theory to number theory, physics, economics.
