Thesis: Metaheuristics on GPU
Having the opportunity to contribute among the first and pioneering GPU works during the CUDA 2.0 era, the goal of my thesis (2008-2011) was to redesign parallel models of metaheuristics on GPU architectures.

With the proliferation of GPU works, the parallelization of simple algorithms on GPU should be nowadays accessible to any scientist.

Solving industrial problems
Industrial problems: unprecedented size, complex modelling (operational constraints, complex data structures and undefined objective functions) and limited execution time.
For example, to design a parking plan of hundreds vehicles for a transportation company where each vehicle can be positioned in 300+ locations. Traditional approaches might fail to provide a solution compatible with production requirements.
It is very interesting to see the tremendous gap between dedicated solutions and commercial solvers for solving industrial problems.
