ABOUT ME
Research that connects mathematical rigor with problems that matter.
AlgorithmsOperations ResearchOptimizationCloud workflows
I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science from UECE (1999), my M.Sc. from UFC (2002), and my D.Sc. from UFRJ (2008). I carried out postdoctoral research at Unicamp in 2010.
Today, I am an Associate Professor at the Institute of Computing, Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF). I work on combinatorial optimization, mathematical programming, and algorithm design, with applications ranging from routing to computational workflows.
