Her research focuses mainly on the development of new mathematical programming models to solve real world problems in contexts such as supply chain management, logistics, transportation and routing in solid waste collection, and healthcare. She has co-authored more than 50 scientific papers and one book. In 2003, she was awarded by the EURO - Association of European Operational Research Societies - the Award for Best Paper on "Theory and Methodology" published on the European Journal of Operational Research between 2010 and 2011.
Nelson Chibeles Martins is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Science and Technology of Nova University of Lisbon and an associate researcher in the Operational Research group at the Centre for Mathematics and Applications (UNL). Storyteller and RPG Game Master since 1990. Dad since 2003.
Nelson completed his B.S. degree in Applied Mathematics - Operational Research at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the Nova University of Lisbon in 1994 and his M.S. degree in Operational Research and Systems Engineering in 1997 at the Technical University of Lisbon. Finally, in 2005, he obtained a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering also at the Technical University of Lisbon.
His main research focus is the application of metaheuristics on complex and highly combinatorial real industrial, logistic and routing problems. Additionally, he has been researching in teaching maths to young children through the use of games and hands-on activities and the impact of teaching (and learning) soft skills courses in technology and science students.
Nelson is a member of the Portuguese Association of Operations Research since 1997. He co-authored the article "Soft skills for science and technology students: A pedagogical experience" that was presented at WEEF2015 - World Engineering Education and received the Best Paper Award.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
