Rafael Benitez Suarez

Rafael Benitez Suarez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Financial Economics and Accounting at the Faculty of Economics, University of Valencia. His academic work bridges applied mathematics and economic decision-making, with a strong focus on mathematical modeling and optimization for business applications.

His research interests include Mathematical Modeling, Integral Equations, Numerical Analysis, Wavelet Analysis, and Optimization. He is a member of two research groups: MODELEM (Mathematical modeling for business decision making) and OMMEE (Optimization and Mathematical Models for Economics and Business).

His recent publications reflect a consistent trend in applying advanced mathematical tools—particularly wavelet-based methods and integral equations—to problems in economics and dynamical systems. Notably, his 2023 paper on efficiency models and 2017 work on the windowed scalogram difference highlight his interdisciplinary approach to time-series analysis and economic modeling.

He earned his PhD in 2004 from the Universidad de Extremadura with a thesis on nonlinear Volterra equations, supervised by Dr. Mariano José Rodríguez-Arias Fernández.

He has collaborated extensively with researchers such as Vicente J. Bolós and Mariano R. Arias, resulting in 16 peer-reviewed publications in journals like Computers & Mathematics with Applications, Applied Mathematics and Computation, and Journal of Integral Equations and Applications.
