María Ángeles Gil Álvarez Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa y Didáctica de la Matemática Universidad de Oviedo |
Full Professor in Statistics and Operations Research at the University of Oviedo since 1992. She has a degree in Mathematics (specialized in Statistics and OR) at the University of Valladolid and a doctorate in Sciences (Mathematics) from the University of Oviedo. Her initial research was related to quantification and statistical studies of information and inequality measures. Subsequently, her research was oriented towards the statistical analysis of imprecise data (mainly with set or fuzzy set values) and its applications, a topic on which she continues researching through various projects. She was co-editor of the journal TEST (2005-2008) and is a member of the editorial boards of six international journals. She got the Silver medal of the Principado de Asturias in 2014 and is IFSA Fellow since 2015.
