Sandra C. Vaz

Sandra C. Vaz serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Beira Interior (UBI), Portugal, teaching core undergraduate courses including Probabilities and Statistics, Calculus II, and Quantitative Methods. Her academic profile remains active with 2025 course listings and recent scholarly contributions through 2023.

Her research program bridges theoretical and applied mathematics, emphasizing Mathematical Modeling of infectious disease dynamics and Dynamical Systems theory. Key focus areas include discrete-time compartmental models for epidemiological forecasting, stability analysis of nonlinear systems, and number-theoretic applications in beta-transformations. This dual trajectory reflects both practical public health engagement and foundational mathematical inquiry.

Analysis of her 2021-2023 publications reveals concentrated expertise in mathematical epidemiology, particularly discrete-time modeling frameworks for HIV immune response dynamics and Portugal-specific COVID-19 transmission patterns. Concurrently, she maintains theoretical work on Pisot numbers and symbolic dynamics, demonstrating sustained contribution to both applied and pure mathematics domains.

No scientific awards are documented in the current profile.

Dr. Vaz has participated in research projects including the completed grant 'Sistemas Dinâmicos Discretos de Baixa Dimensão e de Dimensão Infinita' (POCI/MAT/60380/2004), often collaborating with Delfim F. M. Torres. While her Ciência Vitae profile confirms publication output, no formal advisees or current grant funding are explicitly referenced in the provided materials.
