Carlos Eduardo de Andrade is a principal inventive scientist at the Network Analytics and Automation department at AT&T Labs Research. He is a specialist in prescriptive analytics and operations research, working with large-scale combinatorial optimization problems using model-driven and custom approaches. Scheduling changes on hundreds of thousands of nodes in a highly heterogeneous network and optimizing parameters for other hundreds of thousands of 4G and 5G equipment is part of his daily job. Toss other millions of Internet of Things devices and connected cars, and we have very challenging combinatorial optimization problems tackled by Carlos and his colleagues. In his hybrid position, Carlos delivers solutions for his company as much as scientific papers and open-source code for the community, regularly publishing in high-quality venues such as EJOR and SIGCOMM. He is the author of the BRKGA-MP-IPR, the best performant genetic algorithm for real-world applications to date. Before joining AT&T Labs, Carlos spent some time at the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech as a postdoc fellow and at the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology Southern of Minas Gerais as a professor. Carlos has Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the Institute of Computing at the University of Campinas and a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the Federal University of Lavras.
