Ecole des Mines de Nantes (IRCCyN – SLP), Nantes, France
Universidad de Los Andes (COPA & CEIBA), Bogota, Colombia
I am a French Ph.D. student at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes (France) and Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia), in the area of transportation and computer science. My research interests go toward dynamic vehicle routing problems and the development of software packages to optimize the real-time routing of a fleet of vehicles.
I spent 22 months studying in Colombia, 6 months working in Australia and 3 in Canada, giving me a strong ability to adapt to different cultures and to fluently communicate in professional contexts in French, English and Spanish. I found the living and working abroad highly rewarding and I relish every opportunity to have such experiences.
I am quick-learning, autonomous and communicative, as I demonstrated in the project I carried out for Constraint Technologies, or during my PhD studies. I particularly enjoy managing projects and communicate on the results and applications, as I did for the 2007 Sustainable Development Trophies presenting the project in front of an audience composed of officials and executive directors. I also proved my ability to communicate complex concepts in other languages giving a seminar at the Monash University (Melbourne, Australia) on manpower planning optimization, or as a teaching assistant at the Universidad de Los Andes teaching a course in spanish on linear programming.

A few recommendations
Ian Evans, Research Manager, Constraint Technologies
Victor was a pleasure to work with. He is intelligent and personable, and works well both independently and with others. Details of required tasks only had to be given once, and if they needed clarification then he asked questions at the right time and the right level. He has excellent skills in both applied mathematics and computing, and is problem-driven and so will choose the best technology and algorithm for the problem. He writes documentation and reports clearly, even in English which is not his native language. I would have no hesitation in hiring Victor again once he finishes his PhD. (August 28, 2009)

Victor proved to be a key asset to our developpement team. He mastered our platform and technologies quickly and proposed solutions to build upon our software framework. He took full responsibility of his work, even as an intern and produced high quality code and documentation. His sense of initiative allowed him to exceed our expectation and generate added value for our software. He is organized and autonomous and would integrate well to any team. (September 17, 2008)
