Ricardo Fukasawa is a Professor at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo. He did his undergraduate and Masters in Electrical Engineering at PUC-Rio in Brazil. He worked at GAPSO Inc from 2000-2003. He then did a PhD in the Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization program at GeorgiaTech. He was a recipient of the IBM Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral fellowship from 2008-2009, and moved to Waterloo afterwards. He received the Early Researcher Award from the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation. He is an Associate editor of Operations Research, OR Letters, RAIRO-OR and INFOR: Information Systems and Operational Research, and a Technical Editor for Mathematical Programming Computation. He has publications in several prestigious international journals like Mathematical Programming, Math of OR, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Mathematical Programming Computation and Transportation Science. His research interests are in developing theory and computational tools for the exact solution of hard discrete optimization problems, as well as their applications in practical problems. He has contributions in several areas, including Integer Programming, Vehicle Routing, Stochastic Programming, Bilevel Programming, as well as several applications.
