DESCRIPTION:IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) – Centro-Norte Brazil Section
  presents a special event celebrating Ada Lovelace Day\, featuring a techn
 ical talk by Helaine Furtado entitled “From Mathematics to Computing: Pa
 ths\, Challenges\, and Possibilities for Women in Science.” The event wi
 ll take place online via Google Meet on October 8\, 2026\, at 7:00 PM (Bra
 sília Time). The talk will highlight the speaker’s academic and profess
 ional journey from Mathematics to Computing\, addressing experiences\, cha
 llenges\, and opportunities for women in science\, engineering\, and techn
 ology. Helaine Furtado is a mathematician graduated from the Federal Unive
 rsity of Pará (UFPA)\, in Santarém\, Brazil\, with a Master’s and Ph.D
 . in Computing from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). Her 
 academic work has focused on neural networks\, data assimilation\, mathema
 tical modeling\, and computational methods. She completed a postdoctoral i
 nternship in data assimilation at INPE between 2013 and 2014 and is curren
 tly a professor at the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA)\, where
  she works in teaching and scientific research\, with emphasis on statisti
 cal analysis\, mathematical modeling\, and applied computing. She has also
  served as Director of Graduate Studies at UFOPA\, contributing to the pla
 nning and strengthening of graduate programs. The event aims to celebrate 
 Ada Lovelace Day while providing an accessible and inspiring perspective o
 n women&#39;s trajectories in science and technology and encouraging students\
 , young professionals\, researchers\, and other participants to explore op
 portunities in Mathematics\, Computing\, Engineering\, and related fields.
