CV of Alexandre L. Madureira
Brief Summary: I'm currently working
at Laboratório Nacional de
Computação Científica-LNCC, a research lab in
Brazil. In 2010 and 2011 I will be the main editor of the proceedings of the
CNMAC, the main Brazilian meeting in computational and applied
mathematics. Such meeting gather around 600 people from all over the country,
and around 500 papers are submitted for publication in a single year. In 2009
I received a prestigious three year FAPERJ grant "Rio de Janeiro young
researcher," and I take the opportunity to acknowledge the long term support
from the funding agencies CNPq and FAPERJ. In 2008 I took part in
the New Directions
ShortCourse: Mathematical Neuroscience, sponsored by
the IMA, which I gratefully
acknowledge.
Since 2005 I receive the grant "Produtividade
em Pesquisa" (level II) from CNPq.
I was quite happy to be invited
to deliver short courses at two important Brazilian conferences, the ENAMA II - National Conference on mathematical
Analysis and Applications (2008), and the 62o. SBA - Seminário brasileiro
de Análise (2005). In both I talked about numerical discretization for
multiscale problems. I thank the organizers for the kind invitations. In 2004 I was also invited to become a
reviewer for the
Mathematical Reviews of
the American Mathematical
Society-AMS. I was
very pleased that I received an award from Elsevier-SIAM to attend
the 50th SIAM Anniversary and
Annual Meeting in 2002. This grant has been awarded to only five people
within the "outreach" countries.
I completed my Ph.D. at the
PennState University, Department of
Mathematics. During my Ph.D., I worked under the supervision
of Douglas Arnold, in the
analysis of dimensional reduction. Then I took a NSF-Postdoc position at
the Mathematical Science Research
Institute-MSRI, where I took part at
the
workshop
Elastic Shells: Modeling, Analysis and Numerics. That was just before I
held another postdoc position at LNCC.
In 2002 I was offered a permanent position.
I am now serving my second, nonconsecutive, two year term as the chair of
the Department
of Applied and Computational Mathematics, (2003-2004 and 2009-2011).
From 1999-2001, Frédéric
Valentin and I took care of the
Applied Mathematics Department
homepage at LNCC. We also managed
the seminars
of the
institute up to 2002.
You can also browse my Lattes, and LNCC
intranet CV. Both are in Portuguese.
