Ad\u00e9lia Sequeira is a retired Full Professor at the Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico (IST), University of Lisbon, since March 2021. She taught at the Department of Mathematics at the IST since 1993 and at the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL) since 1973, after graduating in Mathematics, until she was hired as Associate Professor at the IST in 1993. Between 1977 and 1983, she was in Paris at the Laboratoire d’Analyse Num\u00e9rique, Univ. Paris VI, and was a researcher at CMAP, \u00c9cole Polytechnique de Palaiseau, where she completed her Doctorat de 3\u00e8me Cycle in Numerical Analysis in 1981. She obtained her PhD in Mathematics from FCUL in 1985 and her Habilitation in Mathematics from IST\/UTL in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has been an integrated member of the Center for Computational and Stochastic Mathematics (CEMAT\\\/IST-ID) since its foundation in 1996, where she coordinates the scientific area “Mathematical Modelling in Biomedicine” since 2010. She was President of CEMAT in 2007-2013 and 2017-2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her research results have earned her awards and distinctions. Among others: first prize in Pure and Applied Mathematics – UTL\/Santander Totta Scientific Awards 2010; Medal of Merit of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University of the Czech Republic in Prague, 2011; election as Corresponding Member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, Class of Sciences (Section 1. Mathematics), 2018; election as \u201cWomen in Science\u201d by the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture – Ci\u00eancia Viva, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her scientific interests lie in the mathematics of the cardiovascular system, namely in the modelling and computational simulation of complex problems of clinical relevance related to circulatory pathologies, including personalized hemodynamic analysis of the growth and rupture of cerebral aneurysms and inflammatory processes in atherosclerosis, and in the mathematical analysis and numerical methods of fluid mechanics models, in particular non-Newtonian inelastic and viscoelastic fluids, important for their applications in clinical hemorheology.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
