Maurizio Cornalba, Berkeley 1975

Maurizio Cornalba (born January 17, 1947 ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry . He is a professor at the University of Pavia .

Cornalba studied from 1965 at the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, graduating in 1970. He then spent two years at Princeton University (most recently as a lecturer ) and from 1971 assistant professor at the University of Pisa. 1974/75 he was an assistant professor at Harvard University and 1975/76 lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley . From 1976 he was professor of geometry and later of algebra at the University of Pavia.

He deals with the geometry of algebraic curves and the geometry and topology of module spaces.

In 1993/94, 2005 and 2007 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . In 1995 he was visiting professor at the Institut Henri Poincaré , in 1998 at the University of Amsterdam and in 1984/85 at Brown University .

In 1975 he received the Bartolozzi Prize . He is a member of the Accademia dei Lincei (1990 corresponding member, 2005 full member), the Academy of Sciences in Turin (2011) and the Istituto Lombardo.

In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Cohomology of Moduli Spaces of Stable Curves ).

He was co-editor of the collected works of Guido Castelnuovo and Phillip Griffiths .
