Dear Jill,

Thank you for your e-mail. In, fact, I was reading INFORMS website, and I liked the proposal. So, I signed up.

About your questions:

1. I don't know exactly inat which carreercareer level my mentor should be, but it should be someone with an established career or almost andwho is some steps ahead of me.

2. My general study field is about mutlcriteriathe multicriteria decision and decision analysis, especially with fuzzy sets and group decisiondecisions. Also, I'll start to teach "Gamegame theory" inat my university to try to open another option for me.

3. That is the most important question for me. I'm a recent Ph.D, and I love works into work within a team. But now I leaved ofhave left my former research group, and I feel isolated inat my Universityuniversity. I toughtthought that a mentor could help me to think about alternatives for my situation.

Thank you for your attention.

Jose Leao
