Thais Alves is currently pursuing her Ph.D. studies at the University of California at Berkeley. She is enrolled in the Engineering and Project Management Program in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, and expects to graduate in the 2005-2006 academic year. Prior to coming to Berkeley, Ms Alves studied at Brazilian universities and earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering (UFRN/1997) and Master’s in Construction Management (UFRGS/2000).

Ms Alves has been involved in research projects related to the reduction of waste in construction projects, lean production planning applied to construction, and construction supply chains. Ms Alves’ Ph.D. research investigates the sheet metal ductwork supply chain and uses process mapping and simulation modeling tools to represent the interactions between the supply chain’s stakeholders and to aid in project management decisions. Ms Alves’ research will contribute to the identification of opportunities for improvement on project management, buffering, and batching practices in the sheet metal ductwork supply chain.
