Carolina Bhering de Araujo is a Brazilian mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry, including birational geometry, Fano varieties, and foliations.[1][2][3][4][5][6] She is a researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada in Brazil (IMPA), and the only woman (as of 2018) on the permanent research staff at IMPA.[1]
Araujo was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[7] Araujo did her undergraduate studies in Brazil, completing a degree in mathematics in 1998 from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.[2] She earned her PhD in 2004 at Princeton University, where her dissertation, supervised by János Kollár, was titled The Variety of Tangents to Rational Curves.[3][5][7] During and after her PhD, Araujo developed techniques related to Japanese mathematician Shigefumi Mori's proposed theory of rational curves of minimal degree, which she published in 2008.[7][8]
Araujo won L'Oreal Award for Women in Science in Brazil in 2008.[6][4]
Araujo is an organizer and invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians.[3][7] She led the inaugural World Meeting for Women in Mathematics — (WM)2 in August 2018.[7] She was also one of the female mathematicians profiled in the short documentary called Journeys of Women in Mathematics, funded by the Simons Foundation.[1][7][9]
