Carolina Bhering de Araujo is a Brazilian mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry, including birational geometry, Fano varieties, and foliations.[1][2][3][4][5]
Education and career
Araujo was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil .[6] She did her undergraduate studies in Brazil, completing a degree in mathematics in 1998 from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.[2] She earned her PhD in 2004 at Princeton University, where her dissertation, supervised by János Kollár, was titled The Variety of Tangents to Rational Curves.[3][4][6]
She is currently a researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada in Brazil (IMPA), and the only woman (as of 2018) on the permanent research staff at IMPA.[1] She is also a Simons Associate at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP). She is the vice-president of the Committee for Women in Mathematics at the International Mathematical Union.[6]
During and after her PhD, Araujo developed techniques related to Japanese mathematician Shigefumi Mori's proposed theory of rational curves of minimal degree, which she published in 2008.[6][A]
Recognition
Araujo won the L'Oreal Award for Women in Science in Brazil in 2008.[5][7]
Araujo was both an organizer and an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians.[3][6] She led the inaugural World Meeting for Women in Mathematics (WM)2 in August 2018.[6] She was also one of the female mathematicians profiled in the short documentary called Journeys of Women in Mathematics, funded by the Simons Foundation.[1][6][8]
Araujo was awarded the 2020 Ramanujan Prize from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics.[9]
She is included in a deck of playing cards featuring notable women mathematicians published by the Association of Women in Mathematics.[10]
