Mathematics
Gabriella Betella Cybis is a biologist and professor in the Department of Statistics at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. She received two master’s degrees, one in mathematics from the University of Rio Grande do Sul and the other in biomathematics, at the University of California, where she also completed her doctorate in biomathematics.
Her project is to understand the flu virus in depth. Through statistical projections, she hopes to resolve many questions about the origin and spread of the disease and, in doing so, create useful tools for prevention. Gabriela was also a classical dancer, and today, during research breaks, she still maintains her dancing habit.
