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 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, 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.
