Curriculum Vitae

MARIA DO CARMO DA COSTA PATROCÍNIO COIMBRA

Maria do Carmo Coimbra graduated in Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP) in 1986 and joined the Department of Civil Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) as Teaching Assistant in 1990, after a short time (two years) teaching at the Mathematics Department at the University of Aveiro. In 1993, she started her post-graduate studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering at FEUP, where she obtained a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Sciences, in 2000. Since then, she has pursued her teaching and research career at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto as Assistant Professor. She is currently Coordinator of the Mathematics Section of the Civil Engineering Department. She has participated in six research projects being Principal Investigator of a project supported by the Foundation for Science and Technology. She has published articles in specialised journals and conference proceedings. She has organised two scientific events and supervised two doctoral theses. She has received three academic distinctions and the title International Engineering Educator, ING.PAED.IGIP, 2014. She is co-author of the book Moving Finite Element Method: Fundamentals and Applications in Chemical Engineering, CRC Press, 2016. She works in the field of Exact Sciences with an emphasis on Applied Mathematics and Engineering Sciences and Technologies. The focus of her research is the development of numerical methods for solving evolutionary problems. Her main skills and expertise are Numerical Modelling; Numerical Simulation; Convection-Reaction-Diffusion Problems; Moving Finite Elements; Moving Boundary Problems; Cyclic Adsorption/Reaction processes namely SMB, PSA.
