Beatriz Brito Oliveira is an Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Engineering of the University do Porto and a Researcher at INESC TEC. She completed her PhD in Industrial Engineering and Management in May 2018, Cum Laude. Her research focus regarding the application area is fleet management, pricing, and demand modeling in shared mobility systems, especially car rental and carsharing. She has also worked on uncertain and multi-objective cutting and packing problems, with a strong focus on process sustainability. From the techniques viewpoint, her expertise is in quantitative methods to support decisions, focusing on optimization and hybrid approaches, especially those that tackle uncertainty. She has published articles in top journals in the fields of Management Science and Operational Research, as well as sections of books. She has experience in supervising several MSc dissertations and a PhD dissertation and is currently supervising two additional PhD students. She has received four awards related to her PhD and MSc Degrees, including the APDIO Award 2021 for the best PhD dissertation in Operational Research defended between 2018 and 2020 in Portugal. She was also selected as a representative of the Young Women 4OR in the first edition (2020) of this European initiative. She has participated in several national research projects, led an FCT-funded project, has three ongoing international collaboration projects, and has also been working on scientific consultancy projects with mobility companies. Additionally, she coordinated the Diversity and Inclusion Commission at INESC TEC in 2021-2023.
