Short description: Portuguese logician (born 1951)

Maria Cristina De Sales Viana Serôdio Sernadas[1] (born 1951) is a Portuguese mathematical logician whose research topics have included object-oriented specification languages and logics for information systems, and the use of category theory in the combination ("fibring") of multiple types of logic. She is Professor for Logic and Computation in the Department of Mathematics of the Technical University of Lisbon.[2]

Education and career

Sernadas studied mathematics at the University of Lisbon, graduating in 1973, and earned a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1980 from the University of London.[2] Her doctoral dissertation, Multivariate Branching Processes, concerned branching processes in probability theory, and was supervised by statistician D. J. Bartholomew.[3]

In 1988 she completed a habilitation (agregação) at the Technical University of Lisbon, and became a full professor there in 1993.[2]
