I have a Master Degree in Computer Science (MCS) at Departamento de Ciência da Computação (DCC), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). During my MCS, I have worked with two interesting NP-Hard optimization problems. I studied, the Robust Shortest Path Problem (RSP) and the Tree Hub Location problem (THLP). The former relies on a Shortest Path problem where uncertainties are considered over the arc costs. The latter is a network design problem where one looks to locate hubs in a tree backbone in order to reduce the routing total costs.
My advisor in my MCS was an intelligent and brilliant person: Thiago Ferreira. He helped me to improve my skills in Operational Research. We also conversation about the life. Nowadays, Thiago beyond be an advisor is a special friend too.
My thesis: Exact algorithms to the robust shortest path problem and the tree hub location problem is available(in portuguese) here. During the MCS, I have published the following articles:
- An integer linear programming formulation and heuristics for the minmax relative regret robust shortest path problem
- O problema de localizacão de concentradores em árvores: um procedimento para acelerar um algoritmo baseado em decomposicão de Benders
- Estudo comparativo entre formulações para o problema de caminho mais curto robusto
- Une étude de modèles mathématiques pour le problème du plus court chemin robuste
