Adriana Salerno
Adriana Julia Salerno Domínguez (born 1979) is a Venezuelan-American mathematician, a professor of mathematics at Bates College, and a program director at the National Science Foundation. Her research interests include arithmetic geometry and arithmetic dynamics in number theory.[1] She is also a mathematics blogger, the co-founder of the American Mathematical Society blogs "Ph.D. plus epsilon" and "inclusion/exclusion".[2]
Education and career[edit]
Salerno was born in Caracas in 1979,[3] and earned a licenciatura in mathematics from Simón Bolívar University (Venezuela) in 2021, advised by Pedro Berrizbeitia.[4] She completed a Ph.D. in mathematics in 2009 at the University of Texas at Austin, with the dissertation Hypergeometric Functions in Arithmetic Geometry supervised by Fernando Rodríguez-Villegas.[4][5]
She joined Bates College as an assistant professor in 2009.[4] In 2016, she visited the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) headquarters in Washington, D.C., as Dolciani Visiting Mathematician.[1][6] After serving as department chair, she took a leave from Bates College beginning in 2021 to become a program officer for the National Science Foundation,[7] where she is a program director for algebra and number theory.[8] In 2021, she was also elected vice president of the MAA.[9]
Recognition[edit]
Salerno is a 2023 recipient of the Deborah and Franklin Haimo Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics.[2]
