Dr. Marcos J. Rider and Dr. Marina Lavorato visits GNOM

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. Dr. Rider and Dr. Lavorato are working with prof. F.-Javier Heredia in the development of  new stochastic programming models for the optimal expansion of the transmision network in electricity markets. They visited our group previously, 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.
