I'm a mathematician working on mixed integer programming, algorithmic game theory and computational complexity.

I'm currently an assistant professor at University of Montreal, in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, and I hold the FRQ–IVADO research chair in Data Science for Combinatorial Game Theory.

Short Bio

Margarida Carvalho was born in 1988 in Oporto.
Since her early years science has ignited her curiosity, particularly in the field of Mathematics.

She earned a degree in this field by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP). At the beginning of 2009, she started her collaboration with the Department of Computer Science in the Neurosciences division.

Alongside the creative component that this research activity introduced in her curriculum, she developed her skills by enrolling in 2009 the Mathematical Engineering MA. To accomplish her master thesis, she made research in applied game theory in the electricity market.

Since 2010 Margarida is working for INESC TEC.
In 2012, her first PhD year, Margarida visits the University of Bologna, hosted by DEI and supported by an FCT grant, where she investigated bilevel programming.

The first semester of 2014, Margarida visited CORE, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. She studied the generalization of the classic lot-sizing problem to the case with several decision-makers.

In April 2016, Margarida finished with distinction her Ph.D. in Computer Sciences and started a postdoctoral research position in the Center for Industrial Engineering and Management at INESC TEC, Porto.

In March 2017, Margarida started an IVADO Fellowship within the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Data Science for Real-Time Decision-Making in the Department of Mathematical and Industrial Engineering of the Polytechnique Montréal.

In August 2018, Margarida became an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at University of Montreal. She currently holds a FRQ–IVADO Research Chair in Data Science for Combinatorial Game Theory.
