Education and career

Negri was born in Padua, [1] and studied at the University of Padua. She earned a master's degree there in 1991 and a Ph.D. in 1996, both in mathematics. [3] Her dissertation, Dalla Topologia Formale all'Analisi, was supervised by Giovanni Sambin. [4]

She went to Helsinki as a docent in 1998, and became a full professor there in 2015. She has also taken several visiting positions, [3] including a Humboldt Fellowship in 2004–2005 at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. [3] [5] She became full professor of mathematical logic at the University of Genoa, in Italy, in 2019.
