IMPA researchers Felipe Linares and Robert Morris were elected to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) during the General Assembly held on Wednesday (6). Both will be sworn in 2018 to join the other IMPA mathematicians who are full members or affiliates of ABC.

A specialist in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, Linares holds a doctorate from Pennsylvania State University, a postdoctoral fellowship at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (1997), in the USA, and is currently a senior researcher at IMPA. In 2018, he will become an ABC member.

“My election to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences is a recognition to the development of Brazilian Mathematics and, in particular, to my research area (Nonlinear Dispersive Partial Differential Equations)”, Linares said.

For Linares, being part of ABC is an additional motivation to the new generations of mathematicians in Brazil. “I feel very honored with this distinction”, he celebrates.

IMPA Research Associate and specialist in Combinatorics and Probability, Robert Morris accumulates achievements in 2017. This year he has won the MCA Award at the Mathematics Congress of the Americas in Canada and the Brazilian Society of Mathematics Award 2017. He was also elected an affiliate member of ABC for the period 2018-2022.
