[Todos CMAT] Premio Ramanujan 2020 para Carolina Araujo.

[Eugenia Ellis]

Hola a todos, me gustaría contarles que el premio Ramanujan 2020 fue
otorgado a Carolina Araujo, profesora del IMPA en Brasil.
Abajo les copio la descripción de esta distinción otorgada por el ICTP.

ICTP has awarded the 2020 Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from
Developing Countries
<https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/prizes-awards/the-ramanujan-prize.aspx>
to Carolina
Araujo, a researcher at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics
(IMPA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The prize is in recognition of her outstanding work in algebraic geometry,
in particular in birational geometry and the theory of extremal rays, of
which she gave important applications, in particular obtaining a
characterization of projective spaces and hyperquadrics; for her work in
the study and classification of Fano varieties, and her study of algebraic
foliations. Araujo has also played a key role in promoting women in
mathematics and in the organization of important mathematical activities.

Araujo specializes in algebraic geometry, including birational geometry and
foliations. She obtained her PhD in mathematics from Princeton University
in 2004. She has been a Simons Associate with ICTP since 2015, and is the
vice president of the Committee for Women in Mathematics at the
International Mathematical Union.

In 2019 Araujo gave a colloquium talk at ICTP on the history, applications
and current trends of algebraic geometry.

ICTP administers the Ramanujan Prize jointly with the Department of Science
and Technology (DST, Government of India), and the International
Mathematical Union (IMU).

The prize
<https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/prizes-awards/the-ramanujan-prize.aspx> is
awarded annually to a researcher from a developing country who is less than
45 years of age on 31 December of the year of the award, and who has
conducted outstanding research in a developing country. Researchers working
in any branch of the mathematical sciences are eligible.
