Alejandro Fernández is the director of the LIFIA research center at the National University of La Plata (UNLP) and a tenured professor in the Faculty of Informatics. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (Licenciado en Informática) from UNLP and obtained his PhD from FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany, while working as a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute. He is also an independent researcher at the Scientific Research Commission of the Province of Buenos Aires (CICPBA) and has a distinguished career in the field of computer science. Alejandro currently leads the project “Quantum Software Engineering in the NISQ Era: Resources, Co-pilots, and Education,” which aims to improve quantum software engineering methodologies in the context of NISQ (noisy intermediate-scale quantum) devices. This project focuses on developing frameworks and tools to facilitate resource management and explore the integration of artificial intelligence into software development processes. In addition, he participates in research related to software engineering and collaborative systems. As a founding member of the Ibero-American Network for the Advancement of Quantum Software Engineering (RIPAISC) and coordinator of the Quantum Computing Group at CLEI (Latin American Center for Studies in Informatics), he actively promotes collaboration and knowledge exchange within the Latin American scientific community. His leadership in several innovative research projects has resulted in impactful publications that contribute to the advancement of the field. Alejandro is also dedicated to mentoring and advising students, guiding the next generation of researchers in their academic and professional pursuits. Through these efforts, he fosters an environment of collaborative research and inquiry, further enhancing the global impact of his work.
