He is one of the winners of the 2014 Fields Medal, being the first Latin American to win such an award. He has been a researcher at both the IMPA and the CNRS. He has been a professor at the University of Zurich since September 2018.
WFernando Codá dos Santos Cavalcanti Marques is a Brazilian mathematician working mainly in geometry, topology, partial differential equations and Morse theory. He is a professor at Princeton University. In 2012, together with André Neves, he proved the Willmore conjecture.
WElon Lages Lima was a Brazilian mathematician whose research concerned differential topology, algebraic topology, and differential geometry. Lima was an influential figure in the development of mathematics in Brazil.
WArtur Oscar Lopes is a Brazilian mathematician working on dynamical systems and ergodic theory. He is a professor at UFRGS, Porto Alegre.
WWelington Celso de Melo was a Brazilian mathematician. Known for his contributions to dynamical systems theory, he served as full professor at Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada from 1980 to 2016. Melo wrote numerous papers, one being a complete description of the topological behavior of 1-dimensional real dynamical systems . He proved the global hyperbolicity of renormalization for Cr unimodal maps. He was a recipient of the 2003 TWAS Prize.
WJacob Palis Jr. is a Brazilian mathematician and professor. Palis' research interests are mainly dynamical systems and differential equations. Some themes are global stability and hyperbolicity, bifurcations, attractors and chaotic systems.
WMarcelo Miranda Viana da Silva is a Brazilian mathematician working in dynamical systems theory.
