Guillermo Restrepo
Research interests
- Mathematical chemistry, especially order theory in chemistry and some instances of graph theory, topology and category theory.
- Philosophy of chemistry, mainly the relationship between discrete mathematics and chemistry.
- History of chemistry, with emphasis on the computational exploration of the history of chemical reactions.
