Research Interests
The research focuses on the application of advanced computational models and data analytics to address complex challenges in public health, environmental monitoring, and business management. A significant portion of the work involves the development of predictive tools using machine learning—specifically Random Forest, regression models, and emerging quantum machine learning techniques—to forecast variables such as alcohol consumption patterns, indoor air quality, and corporate sales performance. In the environmental domain, the research integrates IoT-based monitoring with fuzzy logic and predictive algorithms to mitigate health risks associated with indoor pollutants and Sick Building Syndrome. Furthermore, the work extends to clinical support through AI-driven image processing for diagnostic applications. Beyond technical modeling, the research encompasses socio-economic and regulatory analyses, including the study of capital structure theories in the commercial sector, the evolution of artisan legislation, and the determinants of foreign direct investment in manufacturing. This multidisciplinary approach bridges the gap between data-driven decision-making and practical applications in social, economic, and health-related contexts.
Key Topics:
- Predictive modeling and Machine Learning
- Indoor air quality and environmental health
- Business intelligence and financial forecasting
- Public health risk assessment
- Regulatory and socio-economic analysis
