The RELIABLE project aims to develop a publicly accessible geographic dashboard with real-time and high spatial resolution information on health risks for building occupants during extreme weather events, heat waves and cold spells. The aim is to improve current alert systems by updating them, using advanced modeling techniques, such as ML methods, and drawing on new sources of public data. Furthermore, it is important that the new warning systems have a high spatial resolution in order to issue risk warnings more accurately and independently by area. In the elaboration of risk indicators, the intention is to use information from various data sources, which include an extensive historical record of mortality and morbidity indicators, as well as socio-demographic indicators that may be representative of the vulnerability of the population.In this project of a national dimension involving several institutions, INSARJ are responsible for carrying out a statistical analysis of all-cause mortality and hospitalisations in order to model the number of deaths and hospitalisations as a function of meteorological variables and to determine the conditions under which these variables have an impact on the population. Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models (DLNM) are at the forefront of the study of mortality and temperature associations, enabling the estimation of non-linear and lagged effects of temperature. It is also intended to develop simpler models with less complex interpretation, such as the DLM. Furthermore, modeling techniques like Time Series Regression Trees will be used and compared with modeling techniques already established in the literature for this type of associations. Finally, all models will culminate in the development of a risk warning indicator, active throughout the year, and easily understood by the entire population.Project Abstract accepted at the 34th Annual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology 2022.

This research scholarship aims at introducing students, who have shown great interest and aptitude for the area of Operations Research, to a career in academic research. It was awarded by the Centro de Matemática Aplicações Fundamentais e Investigação Operacional to only 6 students from ISEG and FCUL. The work that was developed in the scope of the grant consisted in the development and implementation of scheduling models using as example a case of a Portuguese Call Center integrated in the health industry. The model implementation was done in Python with CPLEX packages for Python. This work resulted in a report that explains the reasoning behind the creation of the model and the results obtained.

Use Case: Social ListeningIn this project, within the scope of Data & Analytics, a research was made of what is already done in the area of Social Listening followed by an analysis of the metrics extracted from the social media pages of PwC Portugal in the various social networks where it is present. The analysis of the metrics was performed using Alteryx Designer. The results were subsequently presented using a set of Dashboards developed in PowerBI.
