Pedro Castro is an Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa. Before, he was an Assistant Researcher at Laboratório Nacional de Energia and Geologia (2002-2014) and a Principal Investigator (2014-2022) at CMAFcIO, a research unit of Faculdade de Ciências. He graduated (1997) in Chemical Engineering from IST as best student of his class, later achieving his PhD (2001) and Habilitation (2020). Between 2004 and 2013, he spent a total of 18 months in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University working in collaboration with Dean University Professor of Chemical Engineering, Ignacio Grossmann. A major output has been the Cyber-Infrastructure site: www.minlp.org. His research interests are at the interface between Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, known as Process Systems Engineering (PSE). Most of his research has focused on the solution of real-life industrial problems from a variety of sectors: pulp and paper (Metsä Tissue, Celulose do Caima, Portucel); chemicals (SASOL, Dow Chemical, Unilever, Hovione); cement and steel (ABB, Acciai Speciali Terni); plastics (Ferro Portugal) and petroleum (ExxonMobil, Ecopetrol). He is better known for his mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models and MILP-based algorithms for process scheduling and global optimization of non-convex problems with bilinear terms. These have been based on the Resource-Task Network (RTN), Multiparametric Disaggregation and Generalized Disjunctive Programming. Currently, he has international collaborations with Carnegie Mellon (Prof. Ignacio Grossmann), ABB (Dr. Iiro Harjunkoski), Imperial College London (Prof. Benoit Chachuat), ETH Zurich (Prof. Gonzalo Guillén-Gosálbez) and University Petroleum Beijing (Prof. Yongtu Liang). Pedro Castro has coordinated 9 projects, worth k¿733, dealing with mathematical programming approaches for optimizing the design and operation of industrial plants, and has performed consulting activities in the area of scheduling for ABB, SASOL and Hovione. He has authored 80 ISI-indexed journal articles, receiving over 3400 citations for an h-index of 33 (Scopus), and has been invited to give more than 20 lectures and short courses worldwide: Åbo Akademi University, Aalto University, ABB Corporate Research Center, Carnegie Mellon University, INTEC & INGAR (CONICET), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Universitat Rovira i Virgili and University of Petroleum Beijing. Pedro Castro was PhD advisor of João Teles and hosted visiting PhD students: Li Ting (2015, University of Science & Technology Beijing, China); Hossein Mostafaei (2016, Azarbeijan Shahid Madani University, Iran); Qi Liao (2019, China University of Petroleum-Beijing); all came with their own funding. He acted as jury member in 12 PhD thesis (7 abroad). Pedro Castro received the scientific award of ULisboa in the area of Chemical Engineering (2019) and an Honorable Mention in Applied Mathematics (2016). He also received the 2017 best paper award in PSE from the Portuguese Operations Research Society and was one of the authors of the 2014 best paper in Computers & Chemical Engineering. A 2022 study by Stanford University listed him as one of the worlds top 1% scientists in Chemical Engineering (rank 360 over 53348; 6th in Portugal).
