I conduct my research at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), specializing in modelling, simulation, and optimisation applied to the industrial sector, with a particular focus on improving production systems and transport logistics processes. My work addresses complex logistical challenges that are critical to the competitiveness and efficiency of industrial operations.
From 2004 to 2008, I coordinated the LOGISIM Emerging Research Group: Modelling and Simulation of Logistics Systems, which was officially recognised as a consolidated group in 2009 under its current name, the Intelligent Transportation Systems Group. Over the years, I have actively participated in numerous industrial engineering and architecture projects, as well as regional, national, and European research initiatives.
A central objective of my research has been the development of practical, industry-oriented simulation and optimisation methods. These techniques have been successfully transferred into operational tools and products currently used by several companies. Due to industrial confidentiality agreements, some research outcomes could not be disseminated through scientific publications. Nevertheless, their innovation and impact have been validated and certified by industry partners, including technology-based companies and major organisations in the aviation and logistics sectors.
My research has resulted in decision-support tools that integrate optimisation algorithms with causal model analysis to address complex problems in activity planning and optimal scheduling. These solutions have been implemented across multiple service domains, including healthcare, airport operations, air traffic management (ATM), and, more recently, unmanned traffic management (UTM).
I have also made significant contributions to curriculum development in the fields of aeronautical and logistics management. I coordinated the Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautical Management from 2010 to 2017, playing a key role in its academic design and evolution. In addition, I led the design and implementation of the Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Management, which I coordinated between 2005 and 2010. I also spearheaded the development of the European Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, a joint programme implemented with two other European universities, which I have coordinated since its inception in the 2007–2008 academic year under the Erasmus framework.
