Short CV:

José Manuel Galán is Professor (Catedrático de Universidad) at the University of Burgos (Spain). He graduated in Industrial Engineering at the Universidad de Valladolid in 2002. After finishing his studies, he joined the INSISOC research group, initially working in the FIRMA project of V EU Framework program and, afterwards, working on a project together with the SEI Oxford Office. He obtained a predoctoral research grant but after a year he moved to the Universidad de Burgos as an assistant lecturer, and since then he has been working there in different positions (with some visits to other places from time to time). Since 2010 to 2019, he has been Senior Lecturer.

From a methodological point of view, he began his research focusing on computational modelling and simulation, especially on agent-based modelling. He initially combined analytical approaches together with simulation and, more recently, he is also trying to understand the models using network theory and statistical learning. He loves to work in interdisciplinary projects, and so far he main research domains has been management (especially project management), evolutionary game theory (cooperation theory) and, in the last years, quality and predictive modelling in industrial and management engineering.
