Curriculum Vitae

António José Galrão Ramos

António Ramos is a Professor at the School of Engineering of the Polytechnic do Porto (ISEP) and a researcher at INESC TEC. He completed the PhD in Industrial Engineering and Management in July 2015, Cum Laude. This work was recognized with the APDIO Award 2017 for the best PhD dissertation in Operational Research (OR) defended in Portugal in 2015 and 2016. His research focuses on the efficient use of resources in freight transportation, such as the volume optimization of cargo loading units (e.g. trucks, containers, pallets) and on the urban freight distribution systems. From the technique’s viewpoint, his expertise is in the use and development of metaheuristic approaches and their hybridisation with methods based on mathematical programming that integrate complex real world constraints in combinatorial optimization problems. In 2018 he led the team that created the Postgraduate program in Industrial Management at ISEP of which he has been director since 2018 and in 2021 he led the team that created the Postgraduate program in Logistics & SCM at ISEP of which he has been director. In the same period, he led the team that created the Master of Engineering and Supply Chain Management, of which he has been the director since 2022. In the past years, he has been developing scientific activities in several national competitive-funded projects where he was the PI or responsible for several task teams. In all the projects the main goal is to close the gap between scientific research and real-world needs, by integrating complex real-world constraints in intralogistics and freight transportation problems. Innovative approaches were developed to address cargo stability, vehicle load balance and cargo arrangement complexity for workers in pallet picking. He also researched last-mile distribution systems and leads R&D projects for last-mile routing. In 2021 participated in the Amazon Last Mile Routing Research Challenge Supported by the MIT, where he was part of a two-person research team that ranked 4th from a list of 49 finalist teams from 22 countries. The challenge aimed to promote innovation at the intersection of operational research and data science fields in the last-mile routing. Additionally, he has supervised several MSc dissertations, and (co)supervised one PhD thesis. He is currently supervising MSc dissertations and two PhD dissertations.
