I have focused my investigation on the study of periodic orbits of hamiltonian systems (n-body problem and restricted models). I am interested in Dynamical Systems, Stability and Bifurcations of Periodic Solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations, and Mathematical Modelling.

I studied the Bachelor of Mathematics at the University of Guanajuato; the subject of my thesis was about wavelets and signal processing. I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University (NYU). In my doctoral thesis I developed algorithms and error estimators to approximate the solution of certain partial differential equations with the finite element method. In a postdoctoral stay at the same institute I worked on the numerical approximation of solutions of integral equations that model the dispersion of acoustic waves.

Ernesto Barrios has a bachelor degree in Physics-Mathematics from IPN, a Master in Science and a Ph. D, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, both with specialty in Statistics.

He worked as analyst at the IMP; founder member of the Statistics group at CIMAT; In-house statistical consultant at Plasma-Aided Engineer Lab and member of CQPI at UW-Madison. External statistical consultant mainly in Quality Control and Engineering projects.

The collective and the interdisciplinary are main axes that govern my life since I was just a youngster. These phenomena naturally occur when one is engaged in applied mathematics, which is the best game that mankind has achieved.

I like to say that I am American as I was born in Central America and very soon, I came to Mexico where I learned about life and death. Finally, I got my academic and social education in the course of ten years living in South America, when I belong to the "Cidade Maravilhosa", Rio de Janeiro. Now, I have come back to North America at the ITAM.
