Suzana Mendes Gonçalves completed her PhD in Science in 2007 at the University of Minho, her Master's in Mathematics (Algebra) in 2002 at the University of Lisbon and her degree in Mathematics Teaching in 1997 at the University of Minho. She is an Auxiliary Professor in the Department of Mathematics of the School of Sciences at the University of Minho. She has published 16 articles in specialized journals. She works in the field of Exact Sciences with an emphasis on Mathematics and Pure Mathematics. In her Ciência Vitae CV, the most frequent terms used to contextualize her scientific, technological and artistic-cultural production are: semigroups of transformations; semigroups of linear transformations. She also has special interest on outreach activities, presenting lectures to primary and secondary school students and leading workshops on various topics. She was involved in the creation of two Escape Rooms, as part of the dissemination of mathematics to society.

2023/09/04 - 2023/09/30 The activity has the format of an Escape Room. The theme of the puzzles is the so-called "foam problem", which explores the filling of an n-dimensional space using shapes with the smallest possible surface area. This problem has a wide range of applications, from physics to computer science, from chemistry to statistics. With the puzzles proposed in the Escape Room, participants will be able to perceive challenges, ideas and mathematical results that arise with the "foam problem", in particular with one of its variants: the "cubic foam problem".

2021/09/24 - 2021/09/24 Edward Lorenz, the father of Chaos Theory, showed how small variations can lead to big changes in what became known as the "butterfly effect". In this activity we propose the collective construction of a mosaic in Rubik's cube pixels of a portrait by Edward Lorenz. Each participant will be invited to reproduce a piece of the pixelated image on one of the faces of a Rubik's cube with the aim of collectively forming the complete image at the end of the day.

2021/09/24 - 2021/09/24 Edward Lorenz, the father of Chaos Theory, showed how small variations can lead to big changes in what became known as the "butterfly effect". This activity is a BYOD activity in which participants are able to view, using their mobile phone cameras, an exhibition with poster/screen images in the format of Rubik's cube pixel mosaics and with information about the "butterfly effect" and the impact of maths on meteorology.
