Alberto Adrego Pinto is a full professor at the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto (Portugal). He is a researcher of the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support, Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering LIAAD, INESC TEC. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Dynamics and Games, published by the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). He is the President of the Portuguese International Center for Mathematics (CIM). Currently, he is also a Special Visiting Researcher from CNPq at Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Pinto was an undergraduate student in applied mathematics at University of Porto (1986). He did his MSc with distinction (1998) and his PhD (1991) in mathematics at University of Warwick, UK. He did his Aggregation in Applied Mathematics (2002), passing with unanimous vote, at University of Porto.
Pinto worked with David Rand on his master's thesis (1989) that studied the work of Mitchell Feigenbaum and Dennis Sullivan on scaling functions and he went on to a PhD (1991) on the universality features of other classes of maps that form the boundary between order and chaos.
During this time Pinto met a number of the leaders in dynamical systems, notably Dennis Sullivan and Maurício Peixoto, and this had a great impact on his career. As a result, he and his collaborators have made many important contributions to the study of the fine-scale structure of dynamical systems and this has appeared in leading journals and in his book "Fine Structures of Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms" (2010) coauthored with Flávio Ferreira and David Rand.
