The International Conference on Fractional Differentiation and its Applications (ICFDA 2023)
Ajman University, 14-16 March 2023
(Hybrid: in-person/ Virtual)
Dr. Duarte Valerio
Position: Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico --- University of Lisbon, Portugal
Speech Title: Fractional derivatives to study cancer and its treatments
Duarte Valério is Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico --- University of Lisbon, where he got his MSc (2001) and PhD (2005) in Mechanical Engineering, with theses on fractional control, i.e. on the use of fractional (non-integer) order derivatives in control. He has worked with fractional control and fractional dynamic systems, and their applications in several areas, ever since.
He also researches in the fields of energy conversion (in particular, the control of Wave Energy Converters, that produce electricity from the energy of sea waves) and bioengineering applications (modelling and control of dynamic systems such as biological processes).
He has co-authored over fifty papers in journals with impact factors, three books, over sixty papers in conference proceedings, and nine book chapters.
