Pedro Nascimento de Lima is an assistant policy researcher at RAND and a Ph.D. candidate at the Pardee RAND Graduate School. He has a B.S. and an M.S. in production engineering from UNISINOS University in Brazil. His research leverages simulation modeling, high-performance computing, and Decision Under Deep Uncertainty methods to inform health policy decision-analytic problems.
Prior to joining Pardee RAND, he was a lecturer at UNISINOS, where he taught simulation modeling and other quantitative courses. Both his undergraduate and master’s dissertations, focusing on wicked problems and decision under deep uncertainty, have received the Best Brazilian Dissertation in Production Engineering Prize from ABEPRO. He is currently a visiting graduate student at Argonne National Laboratory.
