Nonlinear Dynamics and Complexity: Mathematical Modelling of Real-World Problems

Dr. Carla M.A. Pinto is a Coordinating Professor at the School of Engineering, Polytechnic of Porto, Portugal. Her main research topic is epidemiology, in particular Mathematical Epidemiology. She is interested in mathematical challenges and their role in providing advice on public health policies. Mrs Pinto is trained in Nonlinear Dynamics, Bifurcation Theory. Previous research included the analysis of Central Pattern Generators for Animal and Robot Locomotion, coupled cell networks, neuron-like equations (Hodgkin-Huxley equations, Fitz-Hugh Nagumo, Morris-Lecar).
