Grants to the USP computer engineering course at Sao Carlos
I graduated from the computer engineering course at the USP Institute of Sports and Computing (ICMC) in Sao Carlos, Alice Valenca de Laurensi won a British university scholarship in the world's ten first place. Alice will integrate a team Colleagues From the presidential scholarship at the Imperial College of the United Kingdom. This doctoral scholarship program contains more solid requirements than usual requirements and chooses the top 50 university university students throughout the planet to develop government research. In the field of mathematics, only three vacancies are available.
“Since the primary school, I had a natural rapprochement of mathematics, with the support of my parents and a clear dream in following the academic profession, I joined the ICMC computer engineering course, where I discovered a professional in mathematics research,” says Alice. At the Empire College, complex systems – structures with multiple components such as nervous or social networks will be studied. This field of research seeks to predict the behavior of these systems and the conclusion of their operating models of data.
Since the USP entered, Alice has participated in the study groups and deepening mathematics. At that time, Professor Hildbando Monoz Rodriguez, who died in 2023, admitted the student's talent and presented her early with Thiago Pereira. Professor at ICMC and member of the Sports Science Center (CEMEAI), Pereira remembers the first steps for its university direction.
“When Alice arrived in the first year, Professor Hildbando warned me:” There is a girl here simply outside the curve. “He did not make a mistake.”
For his academic performance, Alice made a double diploma in France, and studied sports applications for machine learning at the Polytechnic Institute in Paris. The international experience expanded its horizons, but also strengthened the desire to explore mathematics in its essence. Upon returning to Brazil, Alice resumed cooperation with the Pereira Group and decided to go to the doctorate.
The teacher explains that the president's doctoral scholarship has a strict selection process, as it analyzes the technical field, the ability of innovation and the ability to lead a generation. “This bag is like noble for young researchers,” says Tiago Pereira.
Women in STEM professions
Alice's invasion is also good news when monitoring the science of science through the lenses of this type. second The Elsevier report was published in 2024The global participation of women has grown in scientific research over the past two decades, reaching the “equivalence zone” for the first time in 2022. The report is a share of participation between 40 % and 60 % of the total scientific production registered in the Scopus database.

For ibero-american countries, Data from the iberoamericana network of higher education indicators (Red Indicators) indicates the scenario of equivalence between the relative sexes in the percentage Teaching, research, technological development and extension tasks As a major responsibility. Women become the majority of faculty members in Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay and Portoresto.
But despite the global and regional progress, the sub -representation of women in STEM jobs (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is still a continuous problem. According to the Elsevier report, in jobs, women STEM still accounts for 39 % of the total active researchers in the world, below the equivalence area.
In order to know this scenario, Alice devotes a message to the young women who want to practice a profession in the exact science: “We are a minority, but each of us tells us.
