Overview:
Amélia Loja is presently Adjunct Professor at Mechanical Engineering Department of the Engineering Institute of Lisbon (ISEL, IPL), invited Associate Professor at Physics Department of the University of Évora (UEvora) and Senior Researcher of the Mechanical Engineering Institute (IDMEC, IST). Her academic background integrates a BSc with honours in Marine Engineering from the Portuguese Nautical School and a BSc in Computer Science. Her MSc and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering were conferred by the Technical University of Lisbon and the Habilitation in Mechatronic Engineering by the University of Évora. Her major areas of interest include the scientific areas of Computational Solids Mechanics, Optimization and Reverse Engineering, among others. Until now she published 48 papers in scientific international journals. Amélia Loja is Chairperson of the ECCOMAS thematic series of conferences SYMCOMP (International Conference on Numerical and Symbolic Computation: Developments and Applications) and she coordinates the Research Centre on Modelling and Optimization of Multifunctional Systems (CIMOSM, ISEL). Since 2017 she has been invited by the European Commission Research Agencies to evaluate project proposals in different subjects related to her competences.
