Delfim Fernando Marado Torres is a Portuguese Mathematician
born 16 August 1971 in Nampula, Portuguese Mozambique.
He obtained a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Aveiro (UA) in 2002,
and habilitation in Mathematics, UA, in 2011. He is a full professor
of mathematics since 9 March 2015. He has been the Director of the R&D Unit CIDMA,
the largest Portuguese research center for mathematics,
and Coordinator of its Systems and Control Group. His main research areas
are calculus of variations and optimal control; optimization; fractional derivatives
and integrals; dynamic equations on time scales; and mathematical biology.
Torres has written outstanding scientific and pedagogical publications. In particular,
he has co-authored two books with Imperial College Press and three books with Springer.
He has strong experience in graduate and post-graduate student supervision
and teaching in mathematics. Twenty PhD students in mathematics
have successfully finished under his supervision. Moreover, he has been the leading member
in several national and international R&D projects, including EU projects
and networks. Professor Torres has been, since 2013, the Director of the Doctoral Programme
Consortium in Mathematics and Applications (MAP-PDMA) of Universities
of Minho, Aveiro, and Porto. Delfim married 2003 and has one daughter and two sons.
