Rafael Rumí Rodríguez

Rafael Rumí Rodríguez is a Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Almería, Spain, with extensive experience in probabilistic modeling and data analysis. He leads the 'Análisis de datos' research group and serves as Principal Investigator for multiple research projects, including the current 'Hacia una Inteligencia Artificial Probabilística Confiable (TOPAI-UAL)' (2023-2026).

Dr. Rumí Rodríguez's research focuses on Bayesian networks and probabilistic graphical models, with applications spanning environmental science, ecology, agriculture, and education. His work includes developing methods for continuous distributions in hybrid Bayesian networks, flood risk assessment in Mediterranean regions, climate change impact modeling for Andalusian agriculture, and educational assessment analytics. He has created practical tools like the 'hcrBN' R package for hybrid Bayesian network applications.

His publication record includes 43 articles, 2 books or chapters, 3 theses, and 31 conference papers, with an h-index of 16 (Scopus) and 15 (Web of Science). Many publications appear in Q1 journals, reflecting significant research impact across computer science, environmental science, and statistics.
