Member of the CI5 Research Group of the University of Vigo. Under the protection of this research group, I have developed skills as a teacher, researcher and manager. My research is focused on the modeling and optimization of mining resources exploitations, and on the improvement of control procedures and data processing within the environmental field. These lines of research have given rise in more than 15 publications and communications at international conferences, and participation in the development of 6 R+D+i projects financed in competitive calls and in 11 R+D+i grants of special relevance with companies and \/ or administrations. In relation to university management activities, I am Degree Coordinator and Deputy Director of Planning and Academic Organization in the School of Mining and Energy Engineering of the University of Vigo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Research<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-4\">\n<p class=\"mb-2\"><a class=\"btn btn-outline-primary btn-icon\" style=\"text-transform:none!important\" href=\"https:\/\/bidi.uvigo.gal\/investigador\/maria-araujo-fernandez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Researching profile at UVigo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-2 my-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-light\" style=\"min-width:100%;text-transform:none!important\" href=\"https:\/\/publons.com\/researcher\/K-7789-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><abbr title=\"Web of Science\">WOS<\/abbr><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-2 my-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-light\" style=\"min-width:100%;text-transform:none!important\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scopus.com\/authid\/detail.uri?authorId=36560944600\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scopus<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-2 my-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-light\" style=\"min-width:100%;text-transform:none!important\" href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0666-5666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ORCID<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"research_block\" class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<h3 class=\"card-title\">Grupo de investigaci\u00f3n <\/h3>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/bidi.uvigo.gal\/gl\/grupo\/xestion-segura-e-sostible-de-recursos-minerais\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safe and sustainable management of mineral resources<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"card-title\">Research topics<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-peak\">\n<li>Optimizaci\u00f3n da explotaci\u00f3n e transformaci\u00f3n de recursos mineiros<\/li>\n<li>Enxe\u00f1ar\u00eda medioambiental<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<h2>Research results<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"nav nav-tabs\" id=\"custom-tabs-0\" role=\"tablist\">\n<li class=\"nav-item\"><a href=\"#publications\" class=\"nav-link active\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Publications<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\"><a href=\"#proxectos\" class=\"nav-link\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Projects<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\"><a href=\"#teses\" class=\"nav-link\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Theses<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\"><a href=\"#patentes\" class=\"nav-link\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Patents<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\"><a href=\"#contratos\" class=\"nav-link\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Contracts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tab-content\">\n<div id=\"publications\" class=\"tab-pane show active\">\n<p><small>Article<\/small><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRigueira, X., Pazo, M., Ara\u00fajo, M., Gerassis, S., Bocos, E., <\/small><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Bayesian Machine Learning and Functional Data Analysis as a Two-Fold Approach for the Study of Acid Mine Drainage Events<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWater (Switzerland), 15, 8,  2023 | <a href=\"http:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/w15081553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOI<\/a><\/p>\n<p><small>Article<\/small><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRigueira, X., Ara\u00fajo, M., Mart\u00ednez, J., Garc\u00eda-Nieto, P.J., Ocarranza, I.<\/small><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Functional Data Analysis for the Detection of Outliers and Study of the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Air Quality: A Case Study in Gij\u00f3n, Spain<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMathematics, 10, 14,  2022 | <a href=\"http:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/math10142374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOI<\/a><\/p>\n<p><small>Article<\/small><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tG.
