Marilda A. Oliveira Sotomayor (born March 13, 1944) is a Brazilian mathematician and economist known for her research on auction theory and stable matchings. [1] She is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, [2] Brazilian Society of Econometrics, and Brazilian Society of Mathematics. She was elected fellow of the Econometric Society in 2003 [3] and international honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020. [4]
Sotomayor grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She began her education at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro where she received her degree in Mathematics in 1967. Sotomayor continued her education at Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics where she received her master's degree in Mathematics in 1972. She received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in 1981. [5]
Marilda Sotomayor specializes in game theory, matching markets, and market design. She is the only expert in both game theory and matching markets in Brazil. [5]
Sotomayor married Jorge Sotomayor and had two children, a son and a daughter. [5]
Ronald Lewis Graham was an American mathematician credited by the American Mathematical Society as "one of the principal architects of the rapid development worldwide of discrete mathematics in recent years". He was president of both the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America, and his honors included the Leroy P. Steele Prize for lifetime achievement and election to the National Academy of Sciences.
Fan-Rong King Chung Graham, known professionally as Fan Chung, is an American mathematician who works mainly in the areas of spectral graph theory, extremal graph theory and random graphs, in particular in generalizing the Erdős–Rényi model for graphs with general degree distribution.
Constance Bowman Reid was the author of several biographies of mathematicians and popular books about mathematics. She received several awards for mathematical exposition. She was not a mathematician but came from a mathematical family—one of her sisters was Julia Robinson, and her brother-in-law was Raphael M. Robinson.
Yuval Peres is an Israeli mathematician best known for his research in probability theory, ergodic theory, mathematical analysis, theoretical computer science, and in particular for topics such as fractals and Hausdorff measure, random walks, Brownian motion, percolation and Markov chain mixing times. Peres has been accused of sexual harassment by several female scientists.
Jorge Manuel Sotomayor Tello was a Peruvian-born Brazilian mathematician who worked on differential equations, bifurcation theory, and differential equations of classical geometry.
Priscilla E. (Cindy) Greenwood is a Canadian mathematician who is a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of British Columbia. She is known for her research in probability theory.
Lois Wilfred Griffiths was an American mathematician and teacher. She served as a researcher, mathematician, and professor for 37 years at Northwestern University before retiring in 1964. She is best known for her work in polygonal numbers. She published multiple papers and wrote a textbook, Introduction to the Theory of Equations, published in 1945.
June Barrow-Green is a professor of History of Mathematics at the Open University and a visiting professor at the London School of Economics.
Jana Jurečková is a Czech statistician, known for her work on rankings, robust statistics, outliers and tails, asymptotic theory, and the behavior of statistical estimates for finite sample sizes.
