Alessio Corti (born 1965) [1] is a Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College London working in Algebraic Geometry.
Corti studied at the University of Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where he gained a diploma (Laurea) in 1987. He obtained his PhD in 1992 at the University of Utah under the supervision of János Kollár. [2]
As a post-doctoral researcher, he was at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California. From 1993 to 1996 he was the Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago and in 1996 became lecturer, later reader, of mathematics at the University of Cambridge. From 2005 he is a professor at Imperial College London. [3] In 2002, he was awarded the London Mathematical Society's Whitehead Prize. [4]
He is the originator of a project to create a periodic table of shapes.[ citation needed ]
He is married and has a daughter, Beatrice (born 17 September 1992). [5]
Giacomo Albanese was an Italian mathematician known for his work in algebraic geometry. He took a permanent position in the University of São Paulo, Brazil, in 1936.
The Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa is a public university in Pisa and Florence, Tuscany, Italy, currently attended by about 600 undergraduate and postgraduate (PhD) students.
Ennio De Giorgi, a member of the House of Giorgi, was an Italian mathematician who worked on partial differential equations and the foundations of mathematics.
The Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is a special-statute, highly selective public research university located in Pisa, Italy.
The Pisa University System is a network of higher education institutions in Pisa, Italy. The following three schools and universities belong to the system:
Joseph John Kohn is a professor emeritus of mathematics at Princeton University, where he researches partial differential operators and complex analysis.
Massimo Porrati is a professor of physics and a member of the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics at New York University. He graduated from the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Italy with a "Diploma di Scienze" degree in 1985. Later he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA and UC Berkeley in the USA. He was a research scientist at the INFN section in Pisa, Italy, in collaboration with CERN, where he over the years has spent several periods, before joining NYU in 1992. His major research interests are string theory, supersymmetry and supergravity, nonperturbative aspects of strings and quantum field theory, and cosmology.
Luigi Ambrosio is a professor at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy. His main fields of research are the calculus of variations and geometric measure theory.
Christopher Derek Hacon is a mathematician with British, Italian and US nationalities. He is currently distinguished professor of mathematics at the University of Utah where he holds a Presidential Endowed Chair. His research interests include algebraic geometry.
Aldo Andreotti was an Italian mathematician who worked on algebraic geometry, on the theory of functions of several complex variables and on partial differential operators. Notably he proved the Andreotti–Frankel theorem, the Andreotti–Grauert theorem, the Andreotti–Vesentini theorem and introduced, jointly with François Norguet, the Andreotti–Norguet integral representation for functions of several complex variables.
Corrado de Concini is an Italian mathematician and professor at the Sapienza University of Rome. He studies algebraic geometry, quantum groups, invariant theory, and mathematical physics.
Alessio Figalli is an Italian mathematician working primarily on calculus of variations and partial differential equations.
Sergio Campanato was an Italian mathematician who studied the theory of regularity for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations.
Alessandro Faedo was an Italian mathematician and politician, born in Chiampo. He is known for his work in numerical analysis, leading to the Faedo–Galerkin method: he was one of the pupils of Leonida Tonelli and, after his death, he succeeded him on the chair of mathematical analysis at the University of Pisa, becoming dean of the faculty of sciences and then rector and exerting a strong positive influence on the development of the university.
Emilio Baiada was an Italian mathematician.
Andrea Braides is an Italian mathematician, specializing in the calculus of variations. He is a professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
Marco Abate is an Italian mathematician.
Umberto Zannier is an Italian mathematician, specializing in number theory and Diophantine geometry.
Maria Colombo is an Italian mathematician specializing in mathematical analysis. She is a professor at the EPFL in Switzerland, where she holds the chair for mathematical analysis, calculus of variations and partial differential equations.
Michele Benzi is an Italian mathematician who works as a full professor in the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. He is known for his contributions to numerical linear algebra and its applications, especially to the solution of sparse linear systems and the study of preconditioners.
