Davi Sales Barreira (May 19 2022 at 13:38):Hello, friends. As I've started studying Category Theory, I noticed that it seems that there are not many brazilians working on the subject. I was wondering if there were any more brazilians over here. I'd love to get in touch and learn more about who is doing Category Theory here in Brazil.
Valeria de Paiva (May 19 2022 at 13:51):hi, @José Siqueira and myself are some of the Brazilians over here. There are also "brasileiros do coração" like @Peter Arndt , and @Juan Ferrer Meleiro who's a student of Prof Hugo Mariano at USP. there was a big meeting last year in CT in Brazil and we're organizing a thematic session in CT in https://sites.google.com/view/ecbpm/sess%C3%B5es-tem%C3%A1ticas with our Portuguese colleagues Prof Maria Manuel Clementino and the group in Coimbra.
Davi Sales Barreira (May 19 2022 at 14:19):Great to know! Didn't know about the event. I'm registering for attendance right now.

Are you referring to last year's "Encontro Brasileiro em Teoria das Categorias"? If so, for anyone who is interested, there are video recordings here!

Valeria de Paiva (May 19 2022 at 15:04):yes, indeed I was referring to this @Paolo Perrone . Thanks for getting the info! there were more than 200 people registered for this meeting!
I should add that I know several other people here who are Brazilians, but I didn't want to mention them, because I don't know if they want to be put in the spotlight. I know I could say so about @José Siqueira (or rather I hope he doesn't mind me).
Joao Paixao (May 19 2022 at 19:26):Hi @Davi Sales Barreira! I’m from UFRJ. I’m currently working on how to use string diagrams in education (i.e. Graphical Linear Algebra).
Peter Arndt (May 19 2022 at 19:32):Hi! There is also a portuguese language stream here.
José Siqueira (May 20 2022 at 16:16):Don't mind at all Valeria, happy to hear about more Brazilians fitting into the diagram :) Warm welcomes to @Davi Sales Barreira and @Joao Paixao!
Lucas Queiroz (he/him/his) (May 29 2022 at 00:18):Hi @Davi Sales Barreira. I am undergraduate student at UESC, Bahia. I have been studying category theory for many years.
Henry Story (May 29 2022 at 02:49):I am not a Brazilian, but my brother lives with his family in Sao-Paulo. :-) I live in Germany.

Hello, friends.
hi there, where are you based? there is a private group of Hugo Mariano and his students from USP, I can get you hooked in, send me a PM
there are a bunch of people on the Math-Phys-Cat group at UFMG too, but we're kinda scattered. the Encontro serves as a good starting point to see who's interested in CT in Brazil
Lucas Queiroz (he/him/his) (Jun 04 2022 at 12:35):@Daniel Teixeira : by "Encontro" do you mean the event "Encontro conjunto Brasil-Portugal em matemática"?, which will happen in August at UFBA?
Valeria de Paiva (Jun 04 2022 at 13:09):oi @Lucas Queiroz (he/him/his) . eu espero q nao, eu espero que ele esteja falando no segundo encontro brasileiro de categorias, que acho q o pessoal da USP esta' organizando.
