CV Summary

I am Dr. Xavier Barber, born in 1972 in Dénia, Spain, and I earned my PhD in Statistics in 2009. As a statistician, I am passionate about applying statistical methods to real-world challenges. You could say I’m a Bayesian enthusiast, though I also embrace frequentist techniques when they prove effective. Currently, my main research focus—both theoretical and applied—is on species distribution models in a broad sense, covering multivariate responses, values, extremes, and more. Additionally, as head of the joint UMH-FISABIO research unit, a significant portion of my research revolves around advanced statistical methods in health sciences.

Here is a summary of the most notable achievements from my recent academic work:

  • I have contributed to numerous papers published in international indexed journals, as well as in Spanish journals (some of them indexed), book chapters, and conference proceedings. Notably, I have developed or contributed to 59 indexed papers (WOS/SCOPUS). My research career began with a ‘Formación de Personal Investigador (FPI)’ grant (1997-2005), initially focused on Public Health, which led to early publications in journals such as BMC Cancer, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and European Journal of Epidemiology. Later, my research transitioned to Agronomy and Food Technology at the Polytechnic School of Orihuela, where I remain actively engaged. My current research covers a wide range of topics, including Food Quality, Food Chemistry, Crops and Industrial Products, Soil Science, and Plant Analysis.

  • Between 2020 and 2022, I participated in ‘Valencia IA 4 Covid,’ a task force led by Dr. Nuria Oliver, which provided counsel to the Regional Government, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to combat Covid-19. Our team won the worldwide Xprize ‘Pandemic Response Challenge,’ and I have contributed multiple publications on this topic.

  • In the field of Bayesian Spatial Statistics, my work has been featured in journals such as Mathematics, JABES, SORT, and GeoSpatial Health. I have also presented over 30 papers at conferences (from a total of 235), including several invited talks.

  • I have been involved in over 20 research projects (with continuous funding since 2006) and research contracts, often as principal investigator. I am also a member of the National Network BIOSTATNET and the excellence AIDS Research Network, CIBER-Infecciosas.

  • In terms of knowledge transfer, I contributed to the establishment of the spin-off company Compostingreen S.L. and developed statistical software, including one created for Eurostat, which is used for predicting agricultural production across the EU. I have also worked on the ‘eat: efficiency analysis trees’ R-package, a valuable tool in my research field.

  • I was honored with the Best Poster Award at the International Workshop on Statistical Modelling 2010 for my thesis poster titled Geostatistical models for the study of bioclimatic indices. I have also received three UMH awards for Research Production.

  • My teaching experience dates back to 2004, covering undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Since 2018, I have served as an Associate Professor, and I have been invited to teach in over 20 postgraduate courses and subjects. I have also participated in various teaching activities at different institutions. In 2016 and 2022, I was awarded the Teaching Talent Award.

  • I have supervised one Ph.D. thesis and am currently supervising three more. Additionally, I have supervised 67 Master’s theses (58 in Secondary Education and nine in research master’s degrees), 11 Final Theses, one Erasmus+ Final Thesis, and five Final Degree Projects. I have also guided over 20 internship students.

  • My dedication to continuous improvement in teaching is evident in the publication of 11 teaching papers, my involvement in eight innovation projects (five as principal investigator), and the acquisition of a university expert title in Technological Innovation in Education. I have participated in more than 20 training courses and conferences. As a result, I have transitioned from being a learner to becoming an educator, now delivering training courses within the UMH-plan for teaching innovation.

  • In terms of university management, I have served as Deputy Vice Rector for Research from 2011 to the present (2011-2015, 2015-2019, 2019-2023). Since 2015, I have chaired the Animal Welfare Commission at UMH. Additionally, I serve as Secretary of the UMH Research Commission and as a member of the Doctoral Commission.

  • From 2014 to 2019, I was Treasurer of the Spanish Society of Biostatistics (Spanish region of the International Biometric Society) and have been a member of the Representative Council of the International Biometric Society (2021-2025). Currently, I am Deputy President of the “Representative Council” (2024-2025).

  • I am the head of the Joint Research Unit for advanced statistical methods in health sciences UMH-FISABIO and a member of the Valencia Bayesian Research Group.
