Name:Lidia López

Bio:

I am a researcher in the GESSI research group at the ESSI departament at the UPC from 2007. My current research is focused on Software Engineering for AI and AI for Software Engineering, I’m also interested in data-driven decision-making processes, agile software development and software quality. I have been received the PhD (Cum Laude) in Software from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 2013, with the thesis titled The Notion of Specialization in the i* Framework (2013).

I am currently working as tenure-eligible Lecturer at UPC. Previously, I was a Research Manager in the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and Associate Lecturer in the UPC. From 2007 to 2012, I worked as Assistance Teacher at the LSI department at the same University.

As a researcher I have been involved in some national and international projects. For instance, HIVEMIND (Horizon Europe), MLEvol (Spanish funding), IMPaCT-Data (Spanish funding), HealthyCloud (H2020), VISDOM (ITEA-3), Q-Rapids European Project (H2020), and RISCOSS European Project (FP7 program). I participated in the organization and belong to several program committees of international Workshops and Conferences.

My thesis focused on the i* modeling language, which can be connected to requirements engineering and software modeling research lines. Concretely, it provides a formal proposal for the specialization relationship in the i* framework that allows its use in a well-defined manner. My current research lines are more aligned to decision-support techniques, always trying to connect to strategic goals.
