Gilda Ferreira

foto netI am an Assistant Professor in the Departamento de Ciencias e Tecnologia - Universidade Aberta (Portugal), coordinator of the Mathematics Section. I am member of Centro de Matematica, Aplicacoes Fundamentais e Investigacao Operacional CMAFcIO (FCUL, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal) integrated in the Logic Group and colaborator at Large-Scale Informatics Systems Laboratory LaSIGE (FCUL, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal).

I did my undergraduate degree in Mathematics in Portugal at Faculdade de Ciencias da Universidade de Lisboa FCUL. I have a Masters and a PhD in Mathematical Logic from the same University, supervised by Professor Fernando Ferreira. I worked 3 years with a post-doctoral grant in the Theory Group of the Department of Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), supervised by Professor Paulo Oliva; 4 years at CMAFcIO supervised by Fernando Ferreira and 3 years at LaSIGE supervised by Vasco Vasconcelos and Jose Espirito Santo.
