Over his academic career, he has authored more than 85 publications. According to Google Scholar, his work has been cited 379 times, and he holds an h-index of 11. His early research focused on environmental statistics, probability distributions and genetics, while more recently he has explored applied statistics in education, well‑being (happiness), and sports, particularly university football. Among his notable contributions is a 2022 study evaluating an experience of “academic happiness” through football, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, showing how rule changes promoted fair play and reduced disciplinary sanctions. He has also applied multivariate statistical techniques to maritime safety in a recent work on the Paris MoU inspections. For his scientific achievements, he has been recognized by the Genetic Society of Argentina with a medal. In sum, Dr. Almorza is a versatile statistician whose interdisciplinary research spans mathematics, genetics, education, and sport, contributing both theoretical insight and practical societal impact.
