Senior🎓
Top SchoolRubén Infantes is an Assistant Professor and researcher specializing in search-based software engineering, multiobjective optimization, and green computing, with a Ph.D. from École Polytechnique de Montréal whose thesis was nominated for a best-thesis award. He combines academic leadership—organizing and serving on committees for ICSE-affiliated workshops and GECCO—with hands-on contributions to prominent open-source tooling like the jMetal framework, where he refactored core multiobjective algorithms. His work bridges theory and practice, applying metaheuristics and machine learning to real-world problems in IoT, sustainability, and software energy efficiency. A recipient of competitive fellowships (Juan de la Cierva, PAIDI) and a track record of publications in top venues (EMSE, IEEE TSE, Evolutionary Computation), he is known for turning complex optimization challenges into usable frameworks and reproducible research.
