Overview
Brunella Gerla graduated in Mathematics in 1996 from the University of Naples and obtained her PhD in Computer Science in 2002 from the University of Milan.
After her PhD, she carried out research as a postdoctoral fellow and researcher at the University of Salerno.
In 2005, she joined the University of Insubria, where she served as a researcher until 2014.
She then became Associate Professor (2014–2023) and, since November 2023, she has been Full Professor of Mathematical Logic.
Her scientific activity mainly focuses on many-valued logics and their algebraic aspects.
She is the author of around sixty publications in international journals in the field.
She teaches both basic courses in Mathematics and Computer Science and advanced courses in Mathematical Logic.
She has held several editorial roles, including Area Editor for the journal *Fuzzy Sets and Systems* and Managing Editor of *Soft Computing*.
She is also involved in various national and international research projects, often in scientific coordination roles.

My research activity is within many-valued logics, in particular algebraic aspects of propositional many-valued logics based on t-norms. I authored more than sixty papers published on international journals. I thought classes of basic mathematics and computer science, as well as advanced courses in mathematical logic.
