Virginia Dominguez-Garcia

Post-doc 2017 – 2021

ECONET project (ANR), supervised bySonia Kéfi

I have a Bsc + Msc in Physics, but I did my Ph.D. Thesis on Complex Networks applied to ecology and biology, studying how some structural properties of these networks have an effect on the emergent behaviour of the systems.
Now I work in the Biodicee team applying statistical physics to understand problems of ecological relevance.

Topics I’m interested in include:
Biodiversity and stability
Self-organization
Ecological and biological networks
Interplay between topological and dynamical features in ecological and biological networks
