Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Engenharia Elétrica e de Computação (FEEC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Coordinates the Institute for Advanced Studies (IdEA) at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and is a Professor in the area of Operations Research of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNICAMP, in são Paulo, Brazil. He was born in 1951 in Recife (Pernambuco, Brazil), finished high school as an AFS exchange student in Philadelphia (PA), in 1970. He received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Pernambuco, in 1975, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from UNICAMP, in 1979 and 1984, respectively. Following a brief career with the Power Company of the São Francisco River, he joined the Faculty of UNICAMP in 1978, where he has served as head of the Departmente of Systems Engineering, Director of Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering, Dean of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, member of the Editorial Board of UNICAMP Press, member of the council of PENSES (thinking tank attached to the President's Office) and member of the Board of Trustees of the University. He coordinates the Laboratory for Energy Network Optimization (LABORE), with research interests in the planning, operation and sustainability of energy networks. In 2016 he received the "Zeferino Vaz" award, given by the University of Campinas for outstanding contributions in in teaching, research and service. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to conduct advanced research in the area of smart electricity grids, with focus on distribution networks. This is an up-to-date theme with strong economic and environmental importance, and intrinsically interdisciplinary feature. The effective implementation of an electricity smart grid depends on the robust interaction between researches in the areas of power systems, a…
Since the emergence of the interior point methods for linear optimization, computational codes based on these ideas have been shown as efficient alternatives for solving problems of linear and quadratic large-scale problems. Three research lines stand out in the search of efficiency: reducing the number of iterations to achieve convergence of the method; reduction of iteration computation…

This Ph.D. project aims to design and develop a methodology for the optimal allocation and sizing of public charging stations for electric vehicles. The research's primary motivation is the perspective of a significant increase in the fleet of electric vehicles in Brazil. It is part of the thematic project FAPESP 2016/08645-9, ""Interdisciplinary Researches in Intelligent Electric Energy …
The focus of this project for a Master Dissertation is the development of innovations in the methodology for solving the optimal power flows problems that arise from the control of voltages and reactive power flows (volt-var control) in electrical power distribution systems with distributed generations and smart inverters, with the capability to participate in the control of voltages and …
The switch allocation problem in primary power distribution networks has the objective to attain adequate reliability levels for the distribution system, minimizing the allocation costs for the utility. This problem involves complex decisions of multiple factors, such as, the quantity, types, capacities and locations of where to install switches in large scale networks, containing thousan…
