E. Cabral Balreira, Ph.D.
- Professor , Mathematics
-
While teaching a broad range of math courses at all curriculum levels, professor Balreira has been active in course development while delivering what his department chair describes as "clear and well-prepared lectures in an enthusiastic and engaging manner." His research focuses on geometric methods in discrete dynamical systems. He is also interested in predictive analytics with applications to Sports Analytics and Mathematical Biology.
