Maria Inês Gomes Soares received a degree in Mathematics (2004), a MSc in Mathematical Engineering (2006) and a PhD in Applied Mathematics (2012) from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. She is a Researcher at the Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers at Coimbra (INESC Coimbra) and an Invited Adjunct Professor at the Coimbra Business School (Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração de Coimbra - ISCAC), Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra. Her teaching activities include subjects of Applied Mathematics and her recent scientific activity and research interests are mainly focused on bilevel optimization and meta-heuristics (as evolutionary algorithms and particle swarm optimization) with applications in energy systems and decision support systems. Inês is co-author of several scientific papers published in book chapters, conference proceedings and international journals (including highly prestigious journals like Methods Ecol Evol, Conserv Biol, Plos One, Omega, Int Trans Oper Res, Eur J Oper Res, Compute Oper Res, App Energy and Compute Oper Res).
