About me: 

I am an Associate Professor (Profesor Permanente Laboral) in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at the University of Murcia. My research focuses on the application of mathematical analysis techniques to risk analysis, probability theory, and stochastic optimization. I teach various courses in statistics, probability, stochastic processes, and time series at the University of Murcia.

Previously, among other academic appointments, I was a Lecturer in Financial Mathematics and Programme Director for the MSc in Financial Mathematics at University College Dublin. I also held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Konstanz in Germany, within the Stochastics and Financial Mathematics research group. Prior to my academic career, I worked in the financial industry as a Quantitative Analyst at Banesto (Banco Santander) and as a Senior Risk Analyst at BBVA in Madrid, Spain.
