Biosketch

I earned a degree in Mathematics at U. Zaragoza and obtained my PhD at UPC. Since 2007 I am Professor at UPC. Before, I held several positions, first at the Basque Country U. and then at UPC. I have been the principal investigator of research projects and have supervised several doctoral theses. I am the author of over 70 scientific papers with about 40 co-authors from a dozen of countries. I belong to the Editorial Board of Computers & Operations Research and EURO J. on Computation Optimization, and I am Associate Editor of TOP, the OR Journal of the Spanish Society SEIO. Dr.Fernándezis the President of the European Association of Operational Research Societies (EURO) for the term 2015-2016.
