Short Bio

Raquel Pinto received the Degree in Applied Mathematics/Computer Science in 1991 from the University of Porto, the Master degree in Electronical Engineering from the University of Porto in 1995 and the Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Aveiro with the thesis “Matrix Fraction Descriptions in Convolutional Coding” under the supervision of Ettore Fornasini and Paula Rocha. She is now an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Aveiro. Her research interests are in the field of coding theory with particular interest on convolutional coding and systems theory, namely the behavioral approach to systems theory.
