ReachOptimum@TEMA is a multidisciplinary research group at the Centre for Mechanical Technology and Automation (TEMA), University of Aveiro. We explore optimisation, data-driven decision support, and intelligent systems for engineering challenges with a strong focus on water systems and computational mechanics.
-
🎯 Optimization & Operations Research – metaheuristics, multi-objective optimisation, robust and sustainable decision-making
-
🤖 AI/ML for Engineering – predictive modeling, explainable AI, digital twins, and data-driven simulation
-
💧 Water Systems – smart water networks, leak detection, operational optimisation, and resilience
-
⚙️ Computational Mechanics - simulation, optimisation, constitutive modelling, parameter identification, and full-field experimental data
-
🔓 Open Science & Reproducibility – open datasets, notebooks, reference implementations, and reusable computational tools
Develop smart, efficient, and resilient water systems, combining optimization, artificial intelligence, and real-time decision support for water distribution networks. Our research supports integrated leak detection, operational planning, energy-aware control, and improved service quality in water utilities.
