Bio

Organiser of the IMI Data Science Club since 2019 and coordinator of the IMI programme DEC - HUMLOG: Decision Aid Models and Humanitarian Logistics. She is Associate Professor at the Department of Statistics and Operational Research of the Faculty of Mathematics, Complutense University of Madrid, since 2009. Begoña is leading the UCM research group in Decision Aid Models for Logistics and Disaster Management (Humanitarian Logistics) and the research group on Disasters, Development and Sustainability of SEIO (Spanish Society of Statistics and Operational Research). Begoña is the President of SEIO since June 2022 (she was elected president since June 2021).

PhD in Mathematics (Operational Research) in 1994, she has been university lecturer since 1990 at Complutense University and at Pontificia Comillas University (1997-2006), where she was also member of the Technological Research Institute.  She has been coordinator of the PhD Programme in Mathematical Engineering, Statistics and Operational Research of Complutense University and Technical University of Madrid (2015-2022), coordinator of the Master in Mathematical Engineering of Complutense University (2010-2012), coordinator of the Master in Disaster Management of Complutense University and Technical University of Madrid (2014-2019), and several Masters in Statistics (El Salvador, Peru and Mozambique).

Begoña Vitoriano has been involved in research projects all along her career, especially in knowledge and technology transferring, leading research projects since 1998, and she is author of around 60 research publications. She has supervised 5 phD theses. Besides she has got a big experience in Cooperation for Development, leading several projects since 1995 for El Salvador, Peru and Mozambique, and coordinating and taking part of different Committees for Developing Countries and Development (European Mathematical Society, IFORS, SEIO, CE-MAT, CIMPA…). 

 

Research interests

Operational Research, in particular, Mathematical Programming (Integer and Stochastic Programming) and Multicriteria Decision Making, mostly focused on Decision Aid Models for logistics in several sectors (power systems, railways transport, disaster management, humanitarian logistics…) and sustainable development.

5 May 2023. Granting of a Thematic Network on Multicriteria Decision Making coordinated by IMI
In the 2022 call for Research Networks of the Spanish Research Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación), the Thematic Network on Multicriteria Decision Making (Red Temática en Decisión Multicriterio) has been awarded, with IMI being the center coordinating it. The Network is structured into 10 groups, each of which integrates various nodes of the Spanish Multicriteria Decision Making Group (Grupo Español de Decisión Multicriterio), whose principal investigators are: Begoña Vitoriano (IMI, Network Coordinator), Antonio Jiménez (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), Amelia Bilbao (Universidad de Oviedo), Inés Couso (Universidad de Oviedo), Amparo Mármol (Universidad de Sevilla), Herminia Calvete (Universidad de Zaragoza), Francisco Ruiz de la Rúa (Universidad de Málaga), José María Moreno (Universidad de Zaragoza), Ana García Bernabéu (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia) and José Antonio Gómez-Limón (Universidad de Córdoba).

17 de abril de 2023. Fruto de la iniciativa Acción Matemática contra el Coronavirus lanzada por el CEMAT en 2020 se ha publicado el artículo "Effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention in nine fields of activity to decrease SARS-COV-2 transmission" del que Begoña Vitoriano (miembro del IMI) es coautora. La nota de prensa con más información y basada en un texto consensuado por el ISCIII, el CCAES y el CEMat se puede consultar en el siguiente link.
