ANSELMO RAMALHO PITOMBEIRA NETO

Dr. Anselmo R. Pitombeira-Neto holds a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Federal University of Ceará, Brazil (2005), a master's degree in mechanical engineering from University of São Paulo, São Carlos, Brazil (2008) and a PhD in transportation engineering from Federal University of Ceará, Brazil (2015). He is an associate professor, researcher and head of the Department of Industrial Engineering at Federal University of Ceará, where he teaches courses on operations research, stochastic simulation and statistics. He is also a member of the faculty of the Graduate Program in Mathematical Modeling at the Department of Statistics and Applied Mathematics and a principal investigator in the research group OPL - Operations Research in Production and Logistics (www.opl.ufc.br), funded by the CNPq, the Brazilian main funding agency. His research focus on the application of operations research and machine learning methods to the solution of problems in logistics and transportation. In particular, he is currently working in the application of stochastic optimization, bayesian dynamic models, and reinforcement learning. He has published scientific articles in journals such as Networks and Spatial Economics, Computers and Industrial Engineering, Journal of Advanced Transportation, TOP - the official journal of the Spanish Society of Statistics and Operations Research, and the International Journal of Simulation Modeling.
