Mariana Mesquita da Cunha is a PhD student in Engineering Management at IST, CEG-IST, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. Her PhD thesis is titled "Multi-objective linear programming: models, algorithms and applications" and she is supervised by Professor Ana Póvoa and Professor José Rui Figueira. Mariana received a MSc. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2018 at IST. Her master thesis was on "Scheduling of Flexible Job Shop Problem in Dynamic Environments". In this work, she studied both the scheduling and rescheduling problem in uncertain environments with stochastic perturbations. After her master's thesis, she was part of a research project with the pharmaceutical industry, developing automation platforms, simulation tools and automatic scheduling applications for analytical laboratories. Currently, Mariana’s research focus is on multi-objective mixed-integer linear optimization, namely representation strategies and interactive decision support tools. This work tackles challenges in emergency medical services, specifically in areas such as staffing and staff scheduling.
