Eduardo Uchoa is an Associate Professor at Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, Brazil. His research areas include the theory and application of integer programming approaches for solving large NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. In particular, he had made groundbreaking contributions for the joint use of column and cut generation techniques, in the so-called branch-cut-and-price (BCP) algorithms. He is an author of many efficient exact algorithms for a number of problems such as Steiner problems, vehicle routing, scheduling, network design, 1D and 2D cutting problems, among others. He also worked on several applied problems from the industry, and has been nominated as finalist of the Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research Practice for Optimizing the Helicopter Transport of Oil Rig Crews at Petrobras. He had also been awarded as co-author of the Best Paper Published in 2017 in Mathematical Programming Computation. Recently, Uchoa is involved in the development of VRPSolver, a generic and customizable BCP solver that currently provides the best exact algorithm for most classic VRP variants and also for some other kinds of optimization problems. He is author and co-author of several papers that have appeared in leading journals such as Mathematical Programming, Mathematical Programming Computation, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Transportation Science, European Journal of Operational Research, Computers and Operations Research, Networks and Interfaces and in conferences like IPCO.
