The
Mathematical Engineering Lab (LEMA), is a research group in industrial
Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering. Being a multidisciplinary
group, LEMA develops research in the fields of Modelling, Numerical
Analysis, Dynamical Systems, Operational Research or Data Analysis,
among others. The research made in LEMA is frequently applied to solve
real problems from industrial partners. Between studies and R&D
projects made by members of LEMA, there are collaborations with SMC and
multinational groups like Darvesh, Mota-Engil, Neoturf or Nors among
others. In particular, all the process of problems classification, and
subsequent mathematical modelling regarding the usefulness of the
solution to industry is one of the LEMA main skills. Biographical
Sketch Manuel Cruz
received a degree in Mathematics from Faculdade de Ciências
da Universidade do Porto in 1998 and a Master of Science in Applied
Statistics and Modeling from the Faculdade de
Engenharia da Universidade do Porto in 2003. He
received
his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Porto in 2011.
He works at the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto since 1999,
first as an Assistant and since 2009 as an Assistant Professor.
He specializes in numerical algorithms in linear algebra (namely eigenvalue problems), parallel computing, and data analysis. His research includes the development and testing of a parallel version of Jacobi-Davidson Method (PhD Thesis) and the application of projection methods to the determination of Markov Chains eigenpairs (MSc Thesis). Since 2008 he has cooperated actively with the industry, helping to solve some practical problems through modelling techniques and programming the sketched solution in a numerical way. He has been connected with the European Study Groups with Industry (ESGI), as a participant as well as an organizer of the Portuguese 2012 edition held in LEMA at ISEP or the 2014 Edition held at FCT-UNL. He was also a proposer of the Master in Applied Mathematics to Engineering and Finance (already open) as well as the ISEP degree in Mathematical Engineering. In the last years he has modeled different problems from industry in the areas of routing, forecast of parts demand or data analisys, among others. He worked in problems proposed by companies from very different areas like sanitary products and systems, footwear industry, construction industry, green spaces or automotive industry. Some of these developments can be seen in the "papers" and "talks" sections above.
Concerning the
pedagogic activity, he currently teaches numerical analisys and
statistics to undergraduated students and numerical algorithms and
optimization to graduated students.
