Eduardo Teixeira

Eduardo V. Teixeira is a Brazilian mathematician working in the areas of analysis and partial differential equations. He holds the prestigious Kerr Professorship at the Oklahoma State University; a distinguished endowed chair previously held by Prof. William Jaco. He was awarded the 2017 ICTP Ramanujan Prize. The prize recognized his outstanding work in the field of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). His contributions include work on free boundary problems, an original approach to the regularity of degenerate elliptic equations, and the founding of a major research group in nonlinear PDEs in Latin America. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2005 under the supervision of Luis Caffarelli at the University of Texas at Austin. He has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences since 2014.
