My research interests are in the field of Statistical Machine Learning and Combinatorial Optimization. Particularly in Machine Learning we pursue the design and evaluation of new classification paradigms and algorithms able to produce predictive models which can be applied in different fields such as medicine, bioinformatics, ecology, etc. On the other hand, in the Combinatorial Optimization field we develop new heuristics and metaheuristic algorithms able to find a balance between quality of the solution and computational time, study their properties from a theoretical point of view and apply in the solution of real problems.
