Born in the city of São Paulo on October 15, 1964, Clodoaldo Grotta Ragazzo holds a degree in Biosciences and Naval Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1986) and a PhD in Physics from the Institute of Physics at USP (1989). A full professor at the University of São Paulo, he was Director of IME-USP from 2014 to 2018.
He has also served as a Visiting Professor at Princeton University, in the United States, from 1995 to 1996, as well as Coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Applied Mathematics at IME-USP, from 2003 to 2012 and, soon after, Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics from 2012 to 2014. While still a student, Ragazzo won the Rondon in Antarctica competition, which happened during the V Brazilian Expedition to Antarctica in 1986.
His area of expertise involved ordinary differential equations, Hamiltonian systems, fluid mechanics and differential equations with delay.
