Nádia Pinto holds three academic degrees in Mathematics awarded by the University of Porto: BSc in Mathematics - Education branch (2003), MSc in Mathematical Engineering (2006), and PhD in Applied Mathematics (2012). She is an Associate Researcher at i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde da Universidade do Porto. Her research has been focused in the development of mathematical models and software for a wide range of research problems. Her expertise and knowledge have been applied to problems ranging from kinship assessment and species identification, mutation modeling, or mixtures analyses, to uni- and multimodal approaches under the scope of cancer or neurological diseases. She is author of more than 70 publications in international peer reviewed journals, books, book chapters, and proceedings, and has been supervisor of dozens of students (PhD, MSc, and BSc), fellows (PhD, MSc, and BSc), and researchers (PhD).
