🤗 Hello, world! 🌎

I am Leo Trujillo, an Associate Professor at the Institute national des sciences appliquées de Lyon (INSA) 🏛️, a French grande école and engineering school situated in La Doua – LyonTech campus. 🎓 I teach mathematical modeling in the Department of Biotechnology and bioinformatics. 💻 📚 ✍🏻 I conduct my research within the M2E Team (Microbiology of Extreme Environments) at the Laboratory of Microbiology, Adaptation and Pathogenesis (MAP) – UMR-5240.

Highlights

  • New research project on living matter in extreme environments.
  • Starting a new project on mechanistic modelling of biological systems.
  • Ongoing research on adaptive neural networks and synaptic plasticity.
  • Mathematical physics methods for next-generation neural mass models.
  • Open-source code and course materials.

My roots as a contribution

I see science as a universal language enriched by diverse voices. My Latin American identity is part of that richness, and I believe multiculturality is not just coexistence—it is the spark that makes creativity possible. Read my full statement →
