Research lines

The teaching staff participating in this PhD Programme in Statistics and Operations Research belong to research groups with active research projects. The programme is structured in two main lines of research: Statistics and Operations Research.

The Statistics line focuses mainly on inferential developments, with a strong focus on non-parametric research techniques for curves in different contexts, as well as their application to theoretical and applied problems.
Research in the area of Operations Research focuses on Game Theory and its applications.
