Contents

Early life and education

Fantechi received her Laurea from the University of Pisa in 1988, with thesis Secanti di varietà proiettive e applicazioni. [1] [2] [3] Her doctoral advisor was Fabrizio Catanese. [3]

Research and career

Her research considers algebraic geometry. [4] She has developed the mathematical theories that underpin algebraic stacks. Stacks were first introduced to understand the moduli space of curves. [5] [6]

Honours and awards

In 2018, Fantechi received the Prof. Luigi Tartufari award from the Accademia dei Lincei. [7] She was awarded the MSRI Chancellor's Professorship for 2017-2018, and spent a year at the University of California, Berkeley. [1] In 2022, Fantechi was the first woman mathematician to become a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. [8] [9]
