Artur Avila Cordeiro de Melo, born 29 June 1979, is a Brazilian - French mathematician working primarily in the fields of dynamical systems and spectral theory. At the age of 19, Avila began writing his doctoral thesis on the theory of dynamical systems. In 2001 he finished it and received his PhD from Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA). That same year he moved abroad to France to do postdoctoral research. Since 2003 he has worked as a researcher for the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France, later becoming a research director in 2008.
