| dbo:abstract | Djairo Guedes de Figueiredo (academic signature: D. G. De Figueiredo, born on 2 April 1934, in Limoeiro do Norte) is a Brazilian mathematician noted for his researches on differential equations, elliptic operators, and calculus of variations. He is considered the greatest analyst from Brazil. He was the president of the Brazilian Mathematical Society from 1977 to 1979. Figueiredo is a well-known figure among mathematicians in analysis and differential equations and among Brazilian students in physics, engineering and mathematics. He has received many Brazilian national and international prizes, both for his research in pure mathematics and also for his popular mathematics textbooks (about analysis and differential equations) and expository writing papers. In 1995 he received the National Order of Scientific Merit and in 2004 the title of "Doctor Honoris Causa" from the Federal University of Paraíba. In 2009 he became a member of the National Academy of Science of Buenos Aires. In 2011 he became the first Brazilian to receive a gold medal from the from Great Britain "for his great contribution to Mathematics, especially to the theory of elliptical partial differential equations". He was a Ph.D. student of Louis Nirenberg at New York University, and is currently a titular professor at UNICAMP, a position he earned in 1989. He is a recipient of Brazil's National Order of Scientific Merit in mathematics (1995). Since 1969 he has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.

Após se tornar engenheiro civil formado pela Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro em 1956, obteve os títulos de Master of Science (NYU, 1958) e Doctor of Philosophy (NYU, 1961) em matemática, orientado por Louis Nirenberg. Foi professor titular no Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (1968), na Universidade de Brasília (1971), na University of Illinois (1973) e na Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1988). Atualmente é professor colaborador da UNICAMP. Em 1965 e 1984 foi agraciado com bolsa da Fundação Solomon R. Guggenheim. É membro titular da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, e Pesquisador 1A do CNPq desde 1985. Também participa da Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática e da American Mathematical Society. Em 1992 foi premiado com a Bolsa de Reconhecimento Acadêmico "Zeferino Vaz", pelo Conselho Universitário da UNICAMP e, em 1995 com a Grã Cruz da Ordem Nacional do Mérito Científico. Em 2004, recebeu o título de "Doctor Honoris Causa" pela Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Em 2009, passou a ser membro da Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Buenos Aires. Em 2011, foi o primeiro brasileiro agraciado com a medalha de ouro da (Telesio-Galilei Academy of Sciences) da Grã-Bretanha. Seu campo de pesquisa é a Teoria das Equações Diferenciais Parciais, tendo escrito várias monografias e artigos de pesquisa publicados em revistas especializadas no Brasil e no exterior. (pt) |
