His research interest relies on several operation planning problems that arise in the humanitarian logistics context: the distribution of emergency commodities in post-disaster situations; the location-distribution problem with fleet sizing decisions in both pre- and post-disaster phases; and the supply chain design problem towards coordinate operational and tactical decisions over the disaster cycle life. The proposed problems involve the treatment of diverse uncertainty parameters, such as demand, supply, costs, among others, which are usually modeled via stochastic programming and/or robust optimization. The main motivation in proposing models and solution methods for these specific problems relies on the lack of scientific investigation about them and on the computational difficulty for solving practical instances. He is particularly interested in contextualizing new problems, formulating the corresponding optimization models, solving them, and analyzing the numerical results from the disaster management viewpoint, focusing on typical Brazilian disasters. He also has had special interest in many others public management applications using stochastic programming and robust optimization methods.
