Join us for a special hybrid Q&A session with Marcelo Viana, director of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) and a leading figure in contemporary mathematics. In this one-hour event, we’ll explore Viana’s remarkable journey — from his early years at the University of Porto to his leadership at one of the most renowned research institutions in mathematics.
This conversation will explore the intersections of mathematical research, education, and social impact, with a focus on initiatives like the Brazilian Math Olympiad that have expanded access to academic opportunities for millions of students.
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to join the dialogue on how mathematics can be a powerful force for both scientific advancement and social equity.
This event is supported by a CLEAR microgrant. Pizza lunch will be served.
Open to all Oberlin students
