Valeria de Paiva belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Valeria de Paiva as Brazilian mathematician, logician, and computer scientist.
Valeria de Paiva was born at Pouso Alegre in 1959. Her recorded nationality is Brazil. She was educated at University of Cambridge and Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
Valeria de Paiva is described as mathematician, logician and computer scientist.
Her affiliations include Samsung Electronics, Palo Alto Research Center and Nuance Communications.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
Her recorded fields of work are category theory, knowledge representation and reasoning and functional programming.
That the work was done from Brazil matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Valeria de Paiva is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
