Dionisio F. Yáñez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Valencia, where he carries out his teaching and research activities in the field of Applied Mathematics. Before joining the University of Valencia, he was an Associate Professor at the Catholic University of Valencia for ten years, where he developed an extensive teaching career and held various university management positions, including Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Psychology, Teacher Education and Educational Sciences and Coordinator of the Mathematics Area. At the University of Valencia, he has likewise held various academic and management responsibilities.

He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics in 2005 and his PhD in Applied Mathematics in 2010, both from the University of Valencia. His academic background also includes an Executive MBA from INEDE Business School at the Catholic University of Valencia (2014) and a Master's Degree in Research in Specific Didactics, specializing in Mathematics Education, from the University of Valencia (2018).

His research activity focuses mainly on numerical analysis and approximation theory, with particular emphasis on signal and image processing, multiresolution and multiscale techniques, subdivision schemes and their properties, and the design and analysis of linear and nonlinear interpolants and approximants. He also works on the development of approximation methods based on techniques such as Moving Least Squares, Shepard methods, radial basis functions, and partition of unity, as well as their applications. He also has a research line in Mathematics Education. He is an Associate Editor of the journal Dolomites Research Notes on Approximation.
