Xavier Molinero

Biosketch

I got my graduate in Mathematics and my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. I have been a member of the Game Theory Research Group (GRTJ) and Algorithmics, Bioinformatics, Complexity and Formal Methods research group (ALBCOM) at UPC. I have also been member of several competitive projects from 1998, such as Mathematical, computational and social aspects in voting and cooperation contexts (VOTO-COOP). I have published in several journals of computer scince and operational research, among other topics. I have been member of the organizing committee of several international conferences. I coordinate the consoliated research group 2017 SGR 758 granted by Generalitat de Catalunya.
