Maria Antónia Carravilla @ FEUP
Maria Antónia Carravilla is a teacher at Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP) since 1985, visiting professor at Universidade de São Paulo (USP), teacher at Porto Business School in the Executive and Magellan MBA's, and a researcher at INESC-TEC since 1990.
Maria Antónia is the Director of the Doctoral Program in Engineering and Industrial Management (PRODEGI @ FEUP) since 2016.
Maria Antónia Carravilla has been responsible for several R&D contracts with industry, services and public administration. These contracts resulted in reports and decision support systems that proved to be very useful tools for these organizations, leading to long-lasting collaborations with FEUP. The pure research contracts were mainly founded by FCT and are mainly related with the application of constraint programming to the resolution of nesting problems. The R&D contracts and the research contracts were the basis for the theses of several PhD students.
Maria Antónia Carravilla has been a member of the Executive Committee of FEUP for 9 years as Pro-Dean for management and control. She was the Director of the Financial Services and head of the Management Office of FEUP for 7 years. She has been responsible for the Jupiter Project that managed the move of FEUP to the new premises in 2000. She has also been responsible for the projects that resulted in the implementation in FEUP of workflows related with the Financial Services. Within the management office of FEUP she led studies related with indicators for higher education institutions and supervised a masters thesis on sustainability indicators for higher education institutions.
As a teacher at FEUP, Maria Antónia Carravilla has been responsible for several courses related with Operations Research, Operations Management and Logistics that were taught at the BSc, MSc and PhD levels. She has supervised MSc students whose theses were developed in academia as well as in industry.
Maria Antónia Carravilla received in 2009, the first time it has been awarded, FEUP’s Award for Pedagogical Excellence that aims to award the best teacher of FEUP for the past 5 years.

Industrial Engineering and Management
The Centre for Industrial Engineering and Management (CEGI) is internationally recognised in the fields of decision science, optimisation, operations management and service engineering. The mission is to support organisations and communities in decision-making by harnessing the power of data to develop robust and sustainable solutions to complex problems. Research at CEGI focuses on real-world challenges like transport planning, supply chain management, healthcare service networks, industrial operations optimisation, disaster response and recovery, and the impact assessment of public policies. By resorting to Artificial Intelligence, data science and mathematical modelling, CEGI aims to understand system behaviours, improve process efficiency, increase organisational resilience, and anticipate the effects of decisions in uncertain contexts. CEGI operates across critical sectors including mobility, healthcare, retail, industry, energy, and services, focusing on digital transition and sustainability. We collaborate with academia, companies, municipal authorities, hospitals, and regulators, transforming scientific knowledge into applied solutions. We believe that evidence-based management is key to tackling the challenges of a constantly changing world.
Human-Centered Computing and Information Science
The Centre for Human-Centered Computing and Information Science (HumanISE) brings together engineers, scientists, and designers with expertise in Human-Centred Computing (HCC), Computer Science (CS), and Information Science (IS). Interdisciplinarity, one of the Centre’s defining features, fosters the development of software systems, methods, and tools designed to empower individuals and their communities. The excellence and impact of HumanISE’s research, innovation, and consultancy activities allow addressing increasingly complex, volatile, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and uncertain challenges, while ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and organisational standards and frameworks. Value transfer is achieved through close collaboration with academia and industry partners. HumanISE’s core research areas include Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Graphics and Interactive Digital Media; Information Management and Information Systems; Software Engineering; and Large-Scale and Special-Purpose Computing Systems, Languages, and Tools; as well as Computing for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. HumanISE also explores innovation domains like Earth, Ocean and Space Sciences; Personalised Health Research; Geospatial Information Systems Engineering; and Applied Information Systems and Computing.
