Scheduling Mixed-Criticality Systems on Varying-Speed Processors: A Meta-Reinforcement Learning Approach for Non-Preemptive Tasks

A novel Meta-Reinforcement Learning (Meta-RL) framework for adaptive scheduler selection in offline, non-preemptive mixed-criticality scheduling on varying-speed processors[cite: 13].

Risk-aware scheduling for post-wildfire salvage logging under inventory estimation uncertainty

A time-indexed mixed-integer programming framework incorporating chance constraints and a grid-based linearized Chernoff-bound approximation to address inventory estimation uncertainty in post-wildfire salvage logging.

Predictive & Prescriptive Maintenance

Fusing machine learning for fault detection with stochastic optimization to orchestrate robust, resource-aware maintenance schedules under uncertainty.

The Data Mirage: You Cannot Drive Just by Looking in the Rearview Mirror

In this column, I discuss the limitations of purely predictive analytics and explain why organizations must adopt Operations Research to transition from looking at past data to making optimal decisions.

Data science: the invisible engine solving emergencies in Chile

In this interview (starting at 40:45), we discuss the practical impact of data science in Chile, focusing on prescriptive analytics in healthcare, traditional industries, and territorial management.

XV Chilean Conference on Operations Research

Our team participated in OPTIMA 2025 with three contributions across healthcare operations, observatory log analytics, and industrial maintenance. Presentations covered robust routing for home hospitalization, decision oriented relevance ranking for system logs at Paranal Observatory, and sensor based degradation modeling in bottling lines, highlighting our interdisciplinary approach to operations research, machine learning, and decision support.

Leading with Evidence in Times of Uncertainty

An argument for moving from prediction to prescription where high-quality data, explicit uncertainty, and decision governance can turn models into actions that withstand scrutiny.

Artificial City: Designing Future Scenarios through Data and AI

Conversation with PLANEO Magazine on how data science can support just and sustainable cities, from descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics to governance, equity, and collaboration.
