Dr. Marcos J. Rider and Dr. Marina Lavorato, both professors of the dept. of electrical engineering of the Univ. Estadual Paulista, UNESP, (Brasil), have been visiting the GNOM site in Barcelona during January as a part of their participation on the research project DPI2008-02153. We are collaborating in the development of  new stochastic programming models for the optimal expansion of the transmision network in electricity markets. They already visited our group on 2008, and we expect to continue this collaboration in the future reinforcing the relationship between GNOM and the UNESP, both in research and postgraduate tuition.

 

PD: Dr. Rider won last week a permanent position of associate lecturer in the UNESP. Congratulations Marcos!!
