Research Themes
The rebuilt homepage brings the major research threads forward, giving visitors immediate routes into the deeper archive.
BRKGA and metaheuristics
Biased random-key genetic algorithms and hybrid methods for difficult optimization problems.
Network optimization
Routing, facility location, telecom design, and graph-structured optimization models.
TTT plots
Tools and examples for time-to-target plots and randomized algorithm comparison.
Selected Publications
A small front-page selection points visitors into the complete publication archive without making the homepage feel like a long bibliography.

Resources
The main research materials are now direct destinations instead of being hidden inside a multilevel menu.
Talks
A searchable archive of conference and university presentations, rebuilt from the latest CV.
Open talks archiveDocuments
The document folder contains populated PDFs plus placeholders for the broader paper archive.
Open sample paperData
The current populated data asset is a handover-minimization dataset archive.
Download datasetBooks
Book projects and longer-form research references get a visual anchor on the homepage.
Handbook and GRASP resources
The site includes cover art and placeholders for book pages, prefaces, chapters, and related research documents. Once those files are populated, this block can become a direct book catalog.
