Keti Tenenblat

Keti Tenenblat (born 27 November 1944 in Izmir, Turkey) is a Turkish-Brazilian mathematician working on Riemannian geometry, the applications of differential geometry to partial differential equations, and Finsler geometry. Together with Chuu-Lian Terng, she generalized Backlund theorem to higher dimensions.

She earned her Ph.D. from IMPA in 1972 under the supervision of Manfredo do Carmo.[1]

She is a recipient of Brazil's National Order of Scientific Merit in Mathematics,[2] Emeritus Professor at the University of Brasília,[3] and was President of the Brazilian Mathematical Society in 1989–1991.[4][5] She has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences since 1991.[6]

She is the author of the books Introdução à geometria diferencial (1988), and Transformações de superfícies e aplicações (1981).
