Luiz Henrique Cherri

Passionate about optimization, mathematics, and computer science, I began my academic journey in 2007 at ICMC - USP, focusing on applied mathematics in Scientific Computing. Since then, my fascination with optimization research has only grown, guiding me through a series of academic stages, including scientific initiations, master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral studies, predominantly at the University of São Paulo and partially at the University of Porto.With a dual Ph.D. in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics from USP and Industrial Engineering and Management from the University of Porto, this journey has resulted in dozens of scientific articles with hundreds of citations. I have also conducted numerous courses and lectures and mentored master's students.In 2017, I took a step further and founded my first company, transitioning from academia to the professional realm. Since then, I have been involved in dozens of consultancy projects, highlighting two notable endeavors: one focused on agricultural planning to maximize farm profits and another in the financial market, leading to the establishment of a quantitative investment management firm.This trajectory has equipped me with a diverse set of skills, including soft skills such as leadership and management, and hard skills in mathematical optimization, mathematical modeling, exact and heuristic methods, machine learning, statistics, among others.
