- and the São Paulo State University (Unesp) at São José do Rio Preto
- and has close links with the University of Campinas (Unicamp)
- the latter four all being in the interior of the state of São Paulo
- Brazil.
Research staff:
- My research interests centre on the development of models and heuristic methods for problems of production planning and scheduling. Such problems are often highly complex and can be solved to optimality for only very small instances. As a result
- approximate models and solution methods are developed
- suitable for operational use
- making use of integer programming and metaheuristic approaches.
