Summary
Edmundo Molina is a research and faculty leader with nearly a decade of experience aligning academic research to real-world policy challenges, currently directing research and faculty strategy at Escuela de Gobierno y Transformación Pública and the Decision Sciences Research Center at Tecnológico de Monterrey. Trained as a PhD in Policy Analysis with an MS in Systems Engineering, he builds interdisciplinary teams and decision-support tools—notably applied simulation models for water and energy—that translate complex uncertainty into actionable policy options. He has led collaborations with major international partners (World Bank, IDB), run funding pipelines, and mentors doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to produce high-quality, policy-relevant outputs. As president of a society focused on decision making under deep uncertainty, he blends academic rigor with practical convening skills to shape global practice. Less obvious is his trajectory from engineering and central-bank planning roles into policy modeling, giving him a rare mix of quantitative, institutional, and stakeholder-savvy perspectives.
