I obtained my PhD. in Mathematics at the University of Buenos Aires in 1990. I am currently working as a full time professor at the Instituto de Calculo in the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) and as an independent researcher at CONICET (the National Research Council of Argentina). My research topics are in Mathematical Statistics, mainly framed in Robust Statistics, both in parametric and semiparametric methods. My work include the development of robust estimation and testing techniques and the study of their asymptotic and finite sample properties for different frameworks. Some of my latest productions focus on the problem of missing data in the covariates and responses. All along my activity I have worked with Argentine collaborators and also researchers from abroad, in particular from Portugal, Spain and Italy. Besides, I have also collaborated in applications of statistical methods in food technology and in medicine. As a result of my scientific activity I have more than 50 articles, several of them were published in first-rank peer-reviewed statistical journals. I was invited to give conferences and seminars on several occasions both at national and international events. I supervised two Ph.D. thesis, a master and numerous undergraduate thesis. I have one Ph.D. student at the moment. At present, I am director of the Master in Mathematical Statistics and vice-director of the new degree in Data Sciences of UBA.
Carlos Vázquez is full Professor in Applied Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics in the University of A Coruña (UDC) since 2000 and leads the research group M2NICA. He holds five years degrees in Mathematics and in Economics, as well a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). He also holds a Doctorat Trosième Cicle from Université Claude Bernard de Lyon. Formerly he has been Associate Professor at University of Vigo and Visiting Professor at Université Claude Bernard de Lyon and University of Bolonia. He has published numerous papers in different fields of Applied Mathematics, mainly related to PDEs modeling, analysis and numerical solution of problems arising in different domains of engineering and applied sciences. In quantitative finance, his expertise mainly concerns to models based on differential equations for pricing and investment problems, their mathematical analysis, numerical solution and computer implementation. He has supervised 17 PhD thesis, some of them in collaboration with the industry and iside European Industrial Doctorates. He is Associate Editor of Applied Mathematics and Computation, International Journal of Computer Methods, Mathematics and Computers in Simulation and Journal of Computational Finance and Editor in Chief of SEMA Journal. Carlos has been organizer at UDC of a Master in Industrial Mathematics, jointly delivered with other 4 Spanish universities, where he teaches courses on stochastic numerical methods, mathematical modeling in finance and computational finance. Also he coordinates at UDC the associated PhD Program.
I started to do research in 1982, already 38 years ago. My plan is to continue some more years. Up to now I have been the supervisor of 12 Ph students (three of them were joint supervisions), five students had graduated in the University of Granada and seven in other Universities. At this moment I have two Ph D students. According to Math Sci Net I have 141 publications, collaborating with 45 mathematicians of 14 countries. Most of my papers are in the area of Ordinary Differential Equations. The rest are mainly in Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory and in Partial Differential Equations.
