He earned his Ph.D. from the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) in 2004 under the supervision of Marcelo Viana, [2] at the age of 19. [3]
Jacob 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.
The Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada is considered to be the foremost research and educational institution of Brazil in the area of mathematics. It is located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and was formerly known simply as Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), whose abbreviation remains in use.
Nicolaas Govert "Dick" de Bruijn was a Dutch mathematician, noted for his many contributions in the fields of analysis, number theory, combinatorics and logic.
Maurício Matos Peixoto,, was a Brazilian engineer and mathematician. He pioneered the studies on structural stability, and was the author of Peixoto's theorem.

Artur Avila Cordeiro de Melo is a Brazilian mathematician working primarily in the fields of dynamical systems and spectral theory. He is one of the winners of the 2014 Fields Medal, being the first Latin American and lusophone to win such 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.
Welington 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.
Enrico Giusti was an Italian mathematician mainly known for his contributions to the fields of calculus of variations, regularity theory of partial differential equations, minimal surfaces and history of mathematics. He was professor of mathematics at the Università di Firenze; he also taught and conducted research at the Australian National University at Canberra, at the Stanford University and at the University of California, Berkeley. After retirement, he devoted himself to the managing of the "Giardino di Archimede", a museum entirely dedicated to mathematics and its applications. Giusti was also the editor-in-chief of the international journal dedicated to the history of mathematics Bollettino di storia delle scienze matematiche.
Fernando 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. Since then, among proving other important conjectures, Marques and Neves greatly extended Almgren–Pitts min-max theory to prove theorems about minimal surfaces.
Marcelo Miranda Viana da Silva is a Brazilian mathematician working in dynamical systems theory. He proved the Zorich–Kontsevich conjecture together with Artur Avila.
Manfredo Perdigão do Carmo was a Brazilian mathematician. He spent most of his career at IMPA and is seen as the doyen of differential geometry in Brazil.
Enrique Ramiro Pujals is a Brazilian mathematician known for his contributions to the understanding of dynamical systems. Since fall of 2018, he has been a professor at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York.
Carlos Gustavo Tamm de Araújo Moreira is a Brazilian mathematician working on dynamical systems, ergodic theory, number theory and combinatorics. Moreira is currently a researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), where he goes by the nickname "Gugu". He is also a member of the Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad Commission, a fanatic fan of the Brazilian football team Flamengo and a member of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). In October 2016, he achieved the mark of 5000 goals scored in his amateur football career. He maintains a record of his goals to show to the incredulous.
Jorge Manuel Sotomayor Tello was a Peruvian-born Brazilian mathematician who worked on differential equations, bifurcation theory, and differential equations of classical geometry.
Marcos Dajczer is an Argentine-born Brazilian mathematician whose research concerns geometry and topology.
José Fernando "Chepe" Escobar was a Colombian mathematician known for his work on differential geometry and partial differential equations. He was professor at Cornell University.
Jefferson Antonio Galves was a Brazilian mathematician, professor of the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo (USP) and member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. His field of studies was related to statistical models, in particular models that have stochasticity and variable range of memory. Galves was also the leader of NeuroMat, a research center established in 2013 at USP that is dedicated to integrating mathematical modeling and theoretical neuroscience.
William Hamilton Meeks III is an American mathematician, specializing in differential geometry and minimal surfaces.
Paolo Piccione is an Italian mathematician working in differential geometry, Riemannian geometry and analysis. He is professor at the University of São Paulo since 1996 and president of the Brazilian Mathematical Society since 2017.
