Christopher Thraves Caro

Juan de la Cierva researcher at LADyR, GSyC, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos

Research interest

My main research interests include discrete optimization problems, parallel and distributed algorithms, and discrete mathematics. I am particularly interested in mathmatical models that represent natural or artificial phenomena. It is really exciting to me abstract mathematical problems from a tangible fact in order to be reproduced theoretically and then improved in practice.
