Javier Lopez de La Cruz

Javier López-de-la-Cruz is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics in Information and Communication Technologies within the School of Computer Engineering at Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Universidad de Sevilla (2018) and focuses on non-autonomous, random, and stochastic differential systems applied to life sciences, including Biology, Ecology, and Epidemiology.

• PhD in Mathematics (Universidad de Sevilla, 2018)
• Master’s in Advanced Mathematics (Universidad de Sevilla, 2014)
• Bachelor’s in Mathematics (Universidad de Sevilla, 2013)

His research emphasizes the impact of random and stochastic perturbations on biological and ecological models, particularly chemostat systems with non-monotonic growth functions and epidemiological models. Recent publications explore SIR models with reinfection, stochastic chemostat dynamics, and applications to antibiotic resistance and wine fermentation.

He actively participates in international conferences, including invited talks at the ICMC Summer Meeting on Differential Equations in Brazil and workshops in France, Italy, and Spain. He supervises final year projects at UPM in areas like chemostat dynamics, epidemiology, and educational calculus applications.
