Maria de Fátima Pacheco completed her PhD in Mathematics at the Universidade de Aveiro in 2019. She had completed her MSc in Mathematics - Matemática - Fundamentos e Aplicações - in 2001/09 at the University of Porto and BSc in Mathematics - Matemática Pura - in 1991, at the University of Lisboa. She is Adjunct Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Instituto Politécnico de Bragança - IPB). Maria de Fátima is an integrated member of the Center for Research in Digitization and Intelligent Robotics (CeDRI) at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and is a collaborator of the Center for Research & Development in Mathematics and Applications (CIDMA) at the University of Aveiro. Hermain research interests are Graph Theory and Combinatorial Optimization, with a special focus on some classical NP-complete problems such as the determination of graphs with perfect matchings and Hamiltonian cycles and their applications in data analysis and machine learning problems. Shee is also interested in active teaching methods, pedagogical innovation and the integration of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) principles in higher education. He is a member of the teams of several research projects - mathe-pixel-online.org, imath.pixel-online.org, step.ipb.pt, among others - which aim to attract students to STEM subjects and courses. Maria de Fátima Pacheco is a member of the Commission for Gender Equality, Inclusion and Diversity of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and the coordinator of IPB's Mentoring and Tutoring program (Mentoring Academy IPB).
