Bruno Maia holds a PhD degree in Mathematics, completed in 2008 at the University of Warwick (UK), in the field of Dynamical Systems (pure Mathematics). Prior to that, he had completed a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics in 2003 at the Universidade de Lisboa (IST), as well as a Bachelor's degree (5 year long – prior to Bologna Process for European Higher Education) in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1999, also at the Universidade de Lisboa (IST). In 2008, he started teaching undergraduate level mathematics both in Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa (UAL), and also at the Engineering Faculty of Universidade Católica de Lisboa. The latter position was only held for one year. The position at Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa has been kept until the present day. His research interests have shifted from pure mathematics (Dynamical Systems) to applied mathematics and statistical applications to business and economics. He has supervised 2 master’s dissertations and co-supervised 3 master’s dissertations in the area of business and management. He has also been teaching graduate level courses in business research and statistical methods. He is a member of the board of directors of the CICEE – Centro de Investigação em Ciências Económicas e Empresariais, and collaborates in the organization of the monthly research seminar held by CICEE. He is also a member of the Scientific Council of UAL, and in the past, he has also been a member of the Pedagogical Council of the university. He is a member of the Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM) and regularly attends the annual meetings organized by this scientific society, with an emphasis both in research and in mathematical education.
