Since 2025, I’m the Head of the Models of Decision and Optimization Research Group (MODO), where we conduct research on the application of computational intelligence techniques for better solving problems in the current social and technological contexts.
Among my areas of research are: optimization, automated decision-making and their cooperative versions, inverse problems and so on.
