Renata
Machado Aiex died on February 17, 2006 at the age of 35 after a
15-month battle with breast cancer. Her husband, Marcus Fontoura,
said that "Renata will always be remembered as the sweet, fun, and caring person she was. Even during the hardest times of her cancer treatment, she was always well-humored and she brought so much joy to everyone around her." Renata was an intern at the Algorithms and Optimization Research Department at AT&T Labs Research from October 1999 to August 2000 working with Mauricio G. C. Resende on research for her Ph.D. dissertation "An experimental investigation of the probability distribution of solution time in GRASP and its application in the analysis of parallel implementations." She was co-advised by Mauricio G. C. Resende and Celso C. Ribeiro of the Computer Science Department of the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Renata made several contributions in the fields of heuristic search, parallel computation, and experimental analysis of algorithms. Here is her bibliography: R.M. Aiex, M.G.C. Resende, and C.C.
