معرفی
Lola Burgueño is an Associate Professor at the University of Malaga (UMA), Spain, where she is a member of the Atenea Research Group and part of the Institute of Technology and Software Engineering (ITIS). She completed her PhD with honors in April 2016 from the University of Málaga, following a master's degree in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (2012) and a Computer Science and Engineering degree (2011).
Her academic journey includes postdoctoral positions at the Open University of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain; 2018-2022) and CEA List (Paris, France; 2018-2020), along with visiting researcher appointments at the University of Alabama (USA; 2014), Vanderbilt University (USA; 2016), and Université de Montréal (Canada; 2022).
Dr. Burgueño's research spans several interconnected domains:
- Software Engineering and Model-Driven Software Engineering
- Artificial Intelligence integration in software development processes
- Uncertainty management during software design phases
- Model-based software testing methodologies
- Performance optimization of model transformations
- Digital twin technologies and Socio-Cyber-Physical Systems
Her publication record shows an evolving research trajectory from foundational work in model transformations and non-functional requirements toward increasingly sophisticated integration of AI techniques with traditional software engineering approaches, with recent emphasis on ethical considerations in AI-enhanced software modeling and human-centered aspects of digital twin technologies.
Professional service and recognition:
- PC (co-)chair for ECMFA'21, SLE'22 and JISBD'25
- Active Program Committee member for ASE, ICSE, MODELS, SLE, and other premier software engineering conferences
- Editorial Board member of the Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM)
- Steering Committee member of the ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE)
- Member of the WG on Diversity & Inclusion of Informatics Europe
Dr. Burgueño maintains strong international collaborations across Europe and North America, regularly reviewing for top-tier journals including TSE, JSS, EMSE, and SoSyM, and contributing to the advancement of software engineering research and education globally.
