Carolina Bhering de Araujo is a Brazilian mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry, including birational geometry, Fano varieties, and foliations. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
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]
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]
