Marta Macho Stadler (Bilbao, 1962) is a basque mathematician expert in scientific divulgation. She teaches undergraduated courses of Geometry and Topology at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, and her research area is the Geometric Theory of Foliations and Noncommutative Geometry. She is also editor in chief of the digital blog Mujeres con Ciencia (Women with Science) of the Cátedra de Cultura Científica UPV/EHU, and has been awarded several prizes, among others the Premio Emakunde de Igualdad 2006.

Professional career
She obtained the degree in Mathematics from the University of the Basque Country in 1985, started working as lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the same university. In 1987 she researched with Prof. Gilbert Hector at the University Claude Bernard in Lyon where she finished her PhD thesis in 1996 about Isomorphisme de Thom pour les feuilletages presque sans holonomie (Thom Isomorphism for foliation almost without holonomy). She is now Associate Professor of Geometry and Topology at the UPV/EHU. Among others, her research area is the geometric theory of foliations.

She teaches the subjects of Topology and Ampliation of Topology (third and fourth courses) of the Undergraduate degree of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, and the optional topic Mathematics in daily life: society and culture in the Classroom of Experience of Biscay UPV/EHU. . She is an instructor of the Master Degree on Modelling and Mathematic Research, Statistics and Computing (MATG6), a specific master in mathematics and applied mathematics research.

Scientific contributions
Her activities in scientific divulgation started in 1999, when she collaborated in the organization of a conference cicle entittled  'Un Paseo por la geometría', during 10 academic courses. One of her main interest in divulgation is the visibilization of women's contributions in the scientific world.

Member of the Women´s Commission of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME) and active collaborator in several social activities to improve the conection between science and civil society.

One of the main areas of her interest concerns to scientific divulgation and the presence of Mathematics in literature what conducted her to study the relation between the scientific content and the mathematical structure with texts from novels, comics, poetry and plays. She is the main responsible of the sections  'Literature and Mathematicas' and '‘Theatre and Mathematics'' in the web DivulgaMAT of the RSME. During the last years she has collaborated in different activities in cultural spaces or educational institutions in order to involve students and ordinary people in science and also has collaborated in different blogs such as: ZTFNews.org (Facultad de Ciencia y Tecnología, UPV/EHU) and Cuaderno de Cultura Científica (Cátedra de Cultura Científica, UPV/EHU). Actually, she also organises the cultural event ''Ellas hacen ciencia’' held yearly in the Bidebarrieta Library of Bilbao.

From 2010 she is part of the Parity Commission of the Faculty of Science & Technology of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, and from 2015 she is a member of the Cooperation Council of the same university. Furthermore, from 2011 she is a member of the AMIT Asociación de Mujeres Investigadoras y Tecnólogas.

In May 2014 she created the digital space named Mujeres con ciencia belonging to the Cátedra de Cultura Científica de la University of the Basque Country where she is the editor in chief. The purpose of Mujeres con ciencia is to spread the role of women in science and make visible the important work and contributions of past pioneers and present researchers including cross curricular subjects such as science and gender inequalities.

In 2015 she was awarded with the Equality Prize from the Universidad de Alicante because of her contributions in scientific divulgation and actions supporting the visibility of women scientific milestones to the social development. And the medal of the Real Sociedad Matemática Española, due to her contributions to the divulgation of mathematics, her compromise with gender equality and her implication building bridges of knowledge between teachers of mathematics and different educational statements.

On November 2016 she was awarded with the Premio Emakunde a la Igualdad as a recognition of her work, in one hand, in high quality divulgation and promotion of the women's scientific knowledge including gender perspective, and in the other hand, in scientific and educational commissions to promote gender equality in the university. The total economic amount associated to the award was totally donated to refugee women and victims of gender violence who are studying at the University of the Basque Country.

She is a coauthor of a handbook tittled ‘Mujeres en la Ciencia’ (Women in Science), an educational guide on the role of women in the history of science.
