Blas Pelegrin Pelegrin

Blas Pelegrin Pelegrin is a Professor in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at the School of Sciences, Universidad de Murcia, Spain. His academic career spans over three decades with significant contributions to operations research, particularly in location theory and competitive facility location models.

Dr. Pelegrin received his doctorate from Universidad de Sevilla in 1980 with a thesis titled "Sistemas de localización en el plano con distancia general y demanda aleatoria" under the supervision of Dr. Rafael Infante Macías. His research primarily focuses on mathematical programming approaches to spatial competition problems, Stackelberg games, and optimization of facility locations.

His publication record demonstrates a consistent research trajectory in competitive location models, with particular expertise in duopoly competition, price competition in spatially separated markets, and network location problems. His work often applies game-theoretic approaches to facility location problems, bridging operations research with economic theory.

Dr. Pelegrin has collaborated extensively with researchers including María Dolores García Pérez, Pascual Fernández Hernández, and other colleagues in the operations research community. His work has been published in reputable journals such as Annals of Operations Research, European Journal of Operational Research, and Top.
