David Becerra Alonso

David Becerra Alonso is a Full Professor in the Department of Quantitative Methods for Economics and Business at Loyola University Andalusia. With a strong interdisciplinary background spanning physics, computing, and bioinformatics, he bridges quantitative methods with practical applications across multiple domains including social sciences, healthcare, and education.

His research expertise encompasses machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and dynamical systems. Dr. Becerra Alonso applies these computational methods to address critical social issues, particularly in gender-based violence prevention through intimate partner femicide risk assessment, media bias detection, and educational technology development.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on applying AI to social challenges, with multiple 2024-2025 papers addressing media bias detection and intimate partner femicide prediction using advanced computational techniques. His work spans both theoretical machine learning contributions and practical applications in public health, journalism, and education.

• Principal Investigator for Sapiens project (2021-2023) on autonomous aquatic vehicle networks
• Researcher in Disorders of Consciousness (DoC) project (2018-2021) with European Commission
• Researcher in AIPE project (2024-2025) on AI for physical education of vulnerable adolescents

Dr. Becerra Alonso supervises doctoral students working on computational approaches to social issues, including femicide analysis, sustainable development goal classification, and mathematics education in distance learning contexts. His leadership in the Quantitative Research Methods and Applications (MICA) research group supports interdisciplinary collaboration across quantitative methods and applied domains.
