Julio Gonzalez Diaz

Julio González-Díaz is a university professor at the Department of Statistics, Mathematical Analysis, and Optimization at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Santiago de Compostela. His research focuses on game theory, operations research, and decision models, with applications in economics and mathematics. He leads the research group MODESTYA (Optimization, Decision, Statistical Models and Applications) and is affiliated with the Galician Mathematical Research and Technology Center (CITMAga).

Education: PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2005), thesis titled Essays on Competition and Cooperation in Game Theoretical Models, supervised by Dr. María Estela Sánchez Rodríguez and Dr. Ignacio García Jurado.

Research Interests: Game theory (cooperative and non-cooperative), operations research, optimization, and statistical models. His work includes studies on core stability, airport cost allocation, paired comparisons analysis, and algorithmic game theory.

Publications: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles and books, including influential works like An Introductory Course on Mathematical Game Theory (2010) and widely cited contributions on core-center concepts and ranking methods. Recent work involves polynomial optimization algorithms (RAPOSa solver), gas transportation networks, and bilevel portfolio design.

Collaborations: Extensive co-authorship network, including researchers like Fiestras-Janeiro, Sánchez-Rodríguez, and international collaborations in optimization and game theory.
