My role in CPIB was to address automated model synthesis where the structure of candidate models was reversed engineered from experimental data, using P-systems as the modelling framework. This wass essentially a complementary approach to more deterministic models developed by mathematicians at CPIB. To search for the appropriate model structure and parameters several state-of-the-art optimization algorithms were considered. I was also involved with parameter estimation for deterministic ODE-based models.

Claudio left CPIB in January 2010.
