Marcelo Campos
Mathematics
Campos, a researcher at IMPA, is deeply engaged with Ramsey graph theory, an enduring and challenging mathematical problem that remains unsolved. To address this problem, he combines elements of randomness and algebra.
Campos’s mathematical journey began early. In high school, he attended seminars at the University of São Paulo (USP) and then began an undergraduate program in applied mathematics there. He then moved on to earn a master’s degree in mathematics at IMPA, followed by a bachelor’s degree at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He returned to IMPA for his doctorate and later undertook postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford.
Outside of mathematical articles and equations, Campos enjoys collecting jokes, stories, and movies. He has a particular fondness for animated films, especially “Puss in Boots 2.”
