Curriculum Vitae: N/A

David R. González-Barreto is a Professor of Industrial Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM). He graduated with a BS in Industrial Engineering from UPRM (1983), a MSIE (1985) from Purdue University, and a PhD in Industrial Engineering (1996) from The Pennsylvania State University. Since 2002 he has served as Coordinator of the Office of Institutional Research Office and Planning (OIRP) at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. In addition, he is Co-Director of the Centro Universitario para el Acceso (CUA), a center dedicated to increase college admission, and graduation rates of students from low socio-economic status. His current research interests include: multivariate analysis, experimental design, applying simulation and other industrial engineering tools to solve real life problems, academic performance assessment of the students at college level, and studying the factors that limit the access and success of low socio-economic students.
