ICTP MATH COLLOQUIUM - 13 June at 16:30 (Carolina ARAUJO)

[ICTP Math Section]

This special ICTP Math Colloquium will be given by Prof. Carolina Araujo 
(Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

The talk on Algebraic Geometry: history, applications and current trends 
will take place in the Euler Lecture Hall, on Thursday 13 June at 16.30 
hrs and will be followed by light refreshments.

Carolina Araujo was born in Brazil. She obtained her Ph.D in mathematics 
from Princeton University in 2004 and is currently a full Researcher at 
IMPA (Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics), Rio de Janeiro, 
Brazil since 2017. Carolina's research field is Algebraic Geometry. She 
was an Affiliate member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences from 
2010-2014, an ICTP Simons Associate since 2015 and serves as 
Vice-president of the Committee for Women in Mathematics of the 
International Mathematical Union (IMU).

Abstract: Algebraic Geometry is one of the oldest and most active fields 
of mathematics. It studies geometric objects that are defined by 
polynomials. These objects appear naturally in different sciences, and 
the study of their properties brings important applications to other 
areas of mathematics and beyond.

In this talk, the speaker will give a general introduction to Algebraic 
Geometry, highlight some of its applications to other sciences, recent 
developments and guiding problems in the field.

The event will be livestreamed from the ICTP website. Light refreshments 
will be served.

All are welcome to attend.
