Edgard completed his PhD in Mathematics at the Instituto Superior Técnica of the Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal, 2013) under the direction of Diogo Gomes. After the completion of his doctoral work, he held post-doctoral positions at CAMGSD-IST-UL (Lisbon), IMPA (Rio de Janeiro) and ICMC-USP (São Carlos). In November 2016, Prof. Pimentel obtained his Habilitation (Livre-Docência) at USP (ICMC). Since January 2017, Edgard works as Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). Researcher of the National Council of Science and Technology (Level 2, CNPq-Brasil) and Jovem Cientista do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ-Brasil), Edgard was recently selected as a Junior Associate Fellow of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP-Trieste). In 2019, he was selected as a grantee of the Instituto Serrapilheira.
Prof. Pimentel likes to think about Partial Differential Equations, with emphasis on regularity theory. His research agenda has been developed in close collaboration with researchers based both in Brasil and abroad. Edgard's interaction with the international community is vibrant and includes scientific visits to prestigious and very selected research institutes, such as CIMAT (Guanajuato), Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics (Bonn), ICTP (Trieste), Imperial College London, Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm) and Technion (Israel).
Currently, Prof. Pimentel serves the Brazilian mathematical community, among other instances, as member of evaluation panels for national agencies supporting research in the country. |
