Research lines: 

Key words: Discrete optimization, combinatorial optimization, mathematical programming, decomposition and exact methods, metaheuristics.

Scheduling: find the best sequence and timing to do a job on a machine; mold injection planning, lot-sizing, earliness-tardiness.

Transportation: Determination of the actual origin-destination matrices; timetables of buses to benefit the passenger's transfers; optimal vehicle and crew scheduling. 

Agriculture: The process for agriculture planning starts by delineating the field into site-specific rectangular management zones to face within-field variability. Then we assign the crops to the different plots to obtain the best profit at the end of the production cycle subject to water forecasts for the period, humidity sensors, and the chemical and physical properties of the zones within the plot. 

Finance: given set of loans and a monthly incoming cash flow: what is the best way to allocate the monthly income to repay such loans?

Learning paths: scheduling scholar activities to obtain personalized learning paths according to the capacities of the students and the relates stress of each individual.

Short Bio: 

Dr. Yasmín Ríos Solís studied applied mathematics at ITAM and then successfully completed her master's and doctorate in combinatorial optimization at the Paris 6 University in France. This allowed her to join, with funding from the Humbolt Foundation, the bio-informatics team at the University of Bielefeld in Germany, where she completed a post-doctorate. From 2008-2020 she was part of the Systems Engineering group of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, participating in one of the most active groups in optimization research in the country. She is currently part of the Tecnológico de Monterrey School of Engineering and Sciences and is part of the Data Science and Optimization group. 

She won the Sofía Kovalévskaia award for young woman mathematicians, granted by the Mexican Mathematical Society in 2010. She was vice-president of the Mexican Society for Operations Research, SMIO, from 2013-2015. During 2015-2020 she was the representative of the SMIO before the International Federation of Operational Research Societies, IFORS. She has been invited to be plenary speaker in several nacional conferences. Currently, she belongs to the National System of Researchers, with Level 2, and she is a member of the Mexican Science Academy (AMC).

Yasmín has distinguished herself, not only for her research and application of mathematics in the productive sector in Nuevo León, but also in the training of postgraduate students. Many of whom are already independent researchers and professors in national institutions. She has been a visiting professor at the University Paris 6, University Paris 13 and at the University Avignon in France.
