Biography
She holds a degree on Mathematics University of Barcelona, UB and a PhD in Applied
Mathematics from UPC-BarcelonaTech for a dissertation on Artificial Intelligence,
specifically in the area of Qualitative Reasoning Modelling. She is an active member
of the Catalan Association of Artificial Intelligence ACIA and the EURO Working Group
on Multi-criteria Decision Aiding. She spent research periods at the LAAS-CNRS Laboratoire
d'analyse et d'architecture des systèmes in Toulouse and The University of Edinburgh
Business School. From October 2006 to 2010, she was appointed President of the Catalan
Association for Artificial Intelligence ACIA. Her main research interests are on the
development of Artificial Intelligence techniques and Decision-Making Systems. In
particular, she is working on Learning Algorithms, Qualitative and Fuzzy Reasoning,
Multi-criteria and group decision-making, recommending Systems and consensus modelling.
She is the coordinator of the Research Group Judgements and Decisions in the Market
Place JUICE. She is currently the leading coordinator of several publicly and privately-funded
projects on the application of artificial intelligence to Business and Marketing.
She has supervised or co-supervised 11 PhD thesis. She has more than 40 international
publications in referred journals or book chapters, and more than 50 communications
in international conferences or workshops.Núria Agell has been a Full Professor at
ESADE Business School, Universitat Ramon Llull, since 2003. Director of ESADE Business
School's PhD programme and Master of Research in Management Sciences from 2005 to
2013. In May 2015 was appointed director of the department of Operations, Innovation
and Data Sciences at ESADE Business School.
