Cristina Serpa has a degree in Applied Mathematics – Fundamental Applications, a Master’s and a PhD in

Mathematics, in Mathematical Analysis, from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. She is an invited professor in the Mathematics Department of the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa of the Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa.Her teaching duties are usually focused on calculus curricular units for engineering. She is an integrated member of CMAFcIO – Center for Mathematics, Fundamental Applications and Operational Research, of the University of Lisbon and collaborates with the Portuguese Mathematical Society. He researches Fractals at the fundamental theoretical level and in the context of their applications. He created the Fractal Regression method, developing corresponding software to obtain fractal functions from real data.
