Research Themes

My current research interests are Experimental Designs and Industrial Statistics.
Briefly speaking, I am interested in using Computational Algebra and Combinatorics as major tools,
combining with a couple of other mathematical techniques such as Operations Research and Stochastic Processes,
to investigate theorectical and practical problems where Statistical Inference plays an essential role.
My work focuses in the following two themes:

Algebraic Statistics includes:

Factorial Experiment Designs: both mathematical constructions and

statistical data analysis obtained from employing designs in industry and service

Geostatistics: employing statistics techniques in environmental data mining

Statistical Simulation: how to describe and control dynamic projects statistically?

Mathematical and Statistical Modeling: employing discrete models, together with
        probabilistic and stochastic models such as Markovian processes and Bayesian networks

     - in statistical modeling of environmental problems

     - for modeling and improving performance of complex services and/or processes

     - for predicting reliability and damage prognosis using very large field data sets
