Montserrat Pons Vallès

Montserrat Pons Vallès is a Senior academic at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Escola Politècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de Manresa (EPSEM) and the Departament de Matemàtica Aplicada III. She holds a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and a Doctorate in Mathematics, specializing in Game Theory and Voting Systems. Her research focuses on power indices, voting systems design, cooperative game theory, and applications to social choice and reliability systems. She is part of the GRTJ (Game Theory Research Group) at UPC, a leading team in mathematical and computational studies of decision-making processes.

Her work integrates theoretical game theory with practical applications in operational research and reliability engineering. Notable contributions include extending Banzhaf indices for multi-level voting, analyzing power structures in weighted voting systems, and developing measures for component importance in reliability systems. She has collaborated extensively with Prof. Josep Freixas on topics like decisiveness indices, success metrics in voting, and probabilistic power analysis.

Over 94 documented activities, Pons has published in journals like Annals of Operations Research and Theory and Decision, and presented at conferences such as the European Conference on Operational Research. Her projects include国家级 funded research on mathematical models for voting and cooperation in social networks and political science. Despite no listed awards, her h-index of 4.0 reflects sustained scholarly contribution. She advises on reliability systems and voting mechanisms, contributing to both academic and applied domains.
