Much of my research has been related to different aspects of Hadronic Physics, a generic name to refer to the particles that undergo the strong interaction responsible for the existence of the atomic nucleus, and which are constituted by quarks and antiquarks. In particular, I have explored extreme situations, such as those occurring in relativistic heavy ion collisions, where one has a thermal environment reminiscent of properties of the early Universe.

Among my most important findings in this area, I highlight the determination of the thermal evolution of different parameters such as resonance widths, form factors, etc., within the framework of an approach known as the Sum Rules of Quantum Chromodynamics. In general this aspect of my research, including other approaches or techniques, has contributed to shed light on the properties of the phase transitions occurring in this extreme environment. I consider that a second area in which I have made contributions is in Non-Commutative Quantum Mechanics, exploring different scenarios, important for the understanding of this theory. Finally, I would like to highlight recent work focused on the application of quantum field theory to environments, at curiously low energies, related to the properties of certain materials such as graphene and others.
