Alessio Corti
Alessio Corti (born September 25, 1965 ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry .
Corti studied at the University of Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa with a degree (Laurea) in 1987 and in 1992 at the University of Utah in János Kollár Ph.D. (Families of Del Pezzo Surfaces). As a post-doctoral student he was at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and at the MSRI . From 1993 to 1996 he was a Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago and from 1996 Lecturer , from 2001 Reader , at Cambridge University . Since 2005 he has been a professor at Imperial College London .
He deals with higher-dimensional birational geometry as part of the continuation of the Mori program, minimal models and higher-dimensional Fano varieties.
He was visiting scholar at Tokyo University, the National University of Taiwan, and the University of Rome (La Sapienza).
In 2002 he received the Whitehead Prize .
He is not to be confused with the organist of the same name.
