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]
Salerno was born in Caracas in 1979, [3] and earned a licenciatura in mathematics from Simón Bolívar University (Venezuela) in 2001, 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]
Salerno is a 2023 recipient of the Deborah and Franklin Haimo Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. [2]
