Research

My research interests include (but are no limited to) Combinatorial Optimization and Operational Research.

I've conducted research on many CO/OR problems, mainly developing simple yet efficient tailored heuristics and metaheuristics. These problems include:

• Graph Layout (Cutwidth, Modified Cutwidth)
• VLSI Design (Gate Matrix Layout Problem, PLA Folding);
• Pattern Sequencing Problems (Job Sequencing and Tool Switching, Minimization of Open Stacks, Minimization of Order Spread, Minimization of Discontinuities);
• Order Batching;
• Car Sequencing;
• Sports Scheduling;
• Project Scheduling;
• Set Covering;
• Crew Rostering;
• Matrix Bandwidth;
• Railroad Yard Operational Plan.

 

My publications on these topics, as well as other details of my academic life, can be found at my Currículo Lattes (see Lattes Platform in Wikipedia) and also at my ResearchGate profile.
