معرفی
João Janela is an Associate Professor at the Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão (ISEG) within the Universidade de Lisboa. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Instituto Superior Técnico (2008), following earlier degrees in Mathematics. His academic roles include coordinating the Mestrado em Matemática Financeira and serving on the CEMAPRE executive board. His research spans operations research, computational finance, and fluid dynamics, with notable contributions to waste collection optimization and blood coagulation modeling. He has supervised over 10 master’s theses, focusing on topics like numerical methods in finance and vehicle routing problems. Janela actively contributes to academic leadership through roles in curriculum development and institutional governance.
