Optimization and Simulation Laboratory

About

Our laboratory focuses on defining, modeling and solving large-scale planning problems, especially in the Energy, Finance, Higher Education and Health sectors. We are interested in Prescriptive Analytics, Mathematical Programming, Routing and Scheduling Problems, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Performance Evaluation, Portfolio Optimization, Project Management, Gurobi/Python Modeling, VBA and Spreadsheet Modeling in the fields of Operations Research and Business Analytics.
