Scientific Interest:
Combinatorial optimization, metaheuristic algorithms, evolutionary computing, ant colony optimization, genetic algorithms, vehicle routing problem, car-pooling problem, clustering algorithms (k-means clustering, fuzzy c-Means clustering)
Profesional activities:
- PhD student
- Title of my PhD thesis: “Evolutionary computing approaches for vehicle routing and scheduling problems”
- Currently I am researching how ant colony algorithms combined with a fuzzy clustering algorithm could be used together in order to yield near optimal solutions to the mTSP (Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem) problem, which is a simplified problem, compared with VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem)
