Summary:

The work Stochastic Modeling of Chemical Reactions is able to establish the phenomenology of complex processes for the first time, constituted by several elementary acts, with a precision similar to the complicated mathematical treatments of the systems of differential equations that arise of continuous modeling, which are based on numeric methods of high complexity. This work has allowed sustaining with results obtained from real experimental data, the kinetic molecular theory in its explanation of the effect of temperature on the speed of chemical reactions, which had never been achieved. It was not exposed before a convincing theoretical model of the effect of temperature based on the molecular kinetic scheme. That is why several leading edge groups in the world, who study molecular dynamics, have shown such a marked interest in the whole work and also have conferred it an important place among those groups.

The nucleus of the work is expressed in a doctoral thesis, successfully defended in the Permanent Tribunal of Chemical Sciences, and at the same, it is enclosed the corresponding reference of this tribunal, with opinions and praising references from remarkable figures of this sphere in Germany, Spain and China.

The model was published applied to a specific complex system in the Computational and Theoretical Polymer Science magazine, and there are enclosed other related publications in national magazines as well as presentation certifications in national and international events.
