Polini's mother was a school teacher, and before Polini reached school age herself she was already solving the mathematics problems in her mother's lessons. [2] She graduated from the University of Padua in 1990, [3] and completed her Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1995, with Wolmer Vasconcelos as her doctoral advisor. Her dissertation was Studies on Singularities. [3] [4]
After postdoctoral research at Michigan State University, she became an assistant professor at Hope College in Michigan in 1998, then moved to the University of Oregon in 2000 and to Notre Dame in 2001. [3]
Polini is currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Commutative Algebra, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, and Journal of Algebra. She co-authored the research monograph A Study of Singularities on Rational Curves Via Syzygies with David Cox, Andrew R. Kustin, and Bernd Ulrich. [5]
At Notre Dame, Polini became the Rev. John Cardinal O'Hara, C.S.C Professor of Mathematics in 2010, [3] and the Glynn Family Honors Professor in 2018. [1]
She was included in the 2019 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to commutative algebra and for service to the profession". [6]

Brooke Elizabeth Shipley is an American mathematician. She works as a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she was head of the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science from 2014 to 2022. Her research concerns homotopy theory and homological algebra.
Charles Herbert ClemensJr. is an American mathematician specializing in complex algebraic geometry.
Sarah Livia Zerbes is a German algebraic number theorist at ETH Zurich. Her research interests include L-functions, modular forms, p-adic Hodge theory, and Iwasawa theory, and her work has led to new insights towards the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, which predicts the number of rational points on an elliptic curve by the behavior of an associated L-function.
