Short Bio

I received the BsC on Mathematics from the University of Oviedo in 2009, where I also got my MsC degree and the PhD degree on Mathematics and Statistics in May 2014. After finishing my PhD, I spent some months at the HEUSIASYC Research Unit of the Technologic University of Compiegne as a postdoctoral researcher. After this short stay in France, I came back to the University of Oviedo as a Substitute Professor. Then, I have been a Assistant Professor at the Carlos III University of Madrid. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at the University of Oviedo.

Special Session on IP at IPMU'2026 (01/12/2025)
David Nieto-Barba and I are organising a special session at IPMU 2026 Conference that will be held in Rome (June 2026, 15-19). The aim of this special session is to gather papers on Imprecise Probabilities that either present significant advances in the theoretical foundations or demonstrate potential applications to real-world problems. Contributions that emphasise the connection between imprecise probability theories and other fields, such as game theory, decision-making, or fuzzy sets, are also welcome.
New published paper at FSS (18/12/2025)
The paper Neighbourhood models induced by the Euclidean distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence has been accepted for publication in Fuzzy Sets and Systems. This paper continues my research on distortion models by investigating those induced by the Euclidean distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence. In addition to analysing the main characteristics of each model, it provides a final comparison of their properties with those of the linear vacuous, pari-mutuel, and total variation models, among others.
