Marcos Machado

I am an assistant professor in the Industrial Engineering and Business Information Systems (IEBIS) section at the faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Systems (BMS) at the University of Twente (UT).

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at Ontario Tech University, where I worked with Dr. Salma Karray. I was enrolled in the Modelling and Computational Science program, where I attended different grad-level courses, did some TAing, and worked on my Ph.D. thesis. As a Ph.D. student, Dr. Karray and I were awarded an NSERC engagement grant during my first year. We explored, analyzed different data sources, and proposed different credit risk models to one of the biggest commercial banks in Canada.

Before that, I completed my Masters's degree in Industrial Engineering at the University of Sao Paulo (Brasil). I also had the opportunity to work in one of the biggest banks in Brasil (Banco Bradesco, +6 years) as a pricing/modeling analyst and for +1 years in one Financial Group in Canada (Dollar Financial Group - Vancouver).

My research interests include the applications of ML, analytics, and operational management to solve Business problems in general, but specifically, problems in finance, marketing, and management.
