Spanish academic

Carlos Romero (Madrid, 1946) is a Spanish academic who specializes in the field of economic optimization chiefly by using multi-criteria programming methods, concretely goal programming methods. In 2006, the International Society on Multiple Criteria Decision Making awarded him the Georg Cantor Medal.

Career

Romero was born in Madrid. He has a bachelor's degree in agricultural sciences, an MS in agricultural engineering and a PhD in agricultural economics, all of them from the Technical University of Madrid, and an MS in statistics and operational research bestowed by the Universidad Complutense of Madrid. He is currently a professor of economics at the Technical University of Madrid. He was formerly professor of agricultural economics at University of Córdoba (Spain). He has been visiting professor at several universities like: Reading, Portsmouth, Wageningen, Humboldt, etc. He has given short courses and seminars in around 40 universities and research centres in more than 30 countries.

Romero is author, co-author or co-editor of 21 books and around 220 papers (around 100 of them appearing in the ISI data basis) with an optimization orientation and an interdisciplinary perspective that combines engineering, economics and applied mathematics. The research impact of his work implies an h-index of 30 (ISI data basis) and an h-index of 47 (Google Scholar).

His book Handbook of Critical Issues in Goal Programming (Pergamon Press, 1991) and his paper "Goal Programming for Decision Making" (with Mehrdad Tamiz and Dylan Jones, European Journal of Operational Research, 1998), have had and still have a strong influence in the optimization field. His monograph Multiple Criteria Analysis for Agricultural Decisions (with T. Rehman, Elsevier 1989, 2003) is a work of reference for optimizing the use of the natural resources.
