Post-Doctoral Fellows
 Panagiota (Pegy) T. Foteinou
Postdoctoral Fellow
Research
Dr. Foteinou received her Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2004. In May 2010 she received her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University, New Jersey. Her research was focused on the development of a semi-mechanistic, physiology based, multiscale model of systemic inflammation in humans supervised by Dr. Ioannis Androulakis. After that, she joined Prof. Doyle's group at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) as a postdoctoral fellow. Her research interests are in the areas of systems biology and she is currently focusing on modeling the metabolic entrainment of the peripheral circadian clock.

 Maria Rodriguez-Fernandez
Postdoctoral Fellow in Systems Biology
Research
I received a M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in 2001. Between 2002 and 2006 I pursued PhD studies at the Bio-Process Engineering Group of the IIM belonging to the Spanish Council for Scientific Research in Vigo, Spain. The main topics of my PhD dissertation entitled “Modeling and identification of bioprocesses” and supervised by Prof. Julio R. Banga are:
1. Identifiability and sensitivity analysis for nonlinear dynamic systems.
2. Guaranteed and robust parameter estimation in nonlinear dynamic systems using global optimization methods, and its application to the case of distributed parameter systems.
3. Optimal experimental design for nonlinear dynamic systems.
4. Development of an integrated environment to perform identifiability analysis, robust parameter estimation and optimal experimental design.
From August 2006 to June 2007, I worked as a Research Associate at the Centre for Process Systems Engineering (CPSE) on an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-sponsored project on Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA). The overall aim of this project was the development of advanced techniques for GSA of large-scale models and the application of GSA for complexity reduction, time series forecasting and parameter estimation.
From June 2007 to February 2010, I worked at the Bio-Process Engineering Group of the IIM-CSIC on the project “SysMo-KOSMOBAC: Ion and solute homeostasis in enteric bacteria: an integrated view generated from the interface of modeling and biological experimentation”. The main objective of this project consisted of understanding, via molecular analysis and predictive modeling, the regulation of ionic homeostatic in bacteria and its role in regulating the integration of gene expression and metabolism.
In April 2010 I joined Prof. Doyle’s group at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) as a postdoctoral fellow.
