Alessandra Iozzi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alessandra Iozzi (born 25 January 1959 in Rome) is an Italian-born mathematician known for her research in geometric group theory. Originally from Rome, she has triple Italian, Swiss, and American citizenships,[1] and works as an adjunct professor of mathematics at ETH Zurich.[2]

Education and career[]

Iozzi was born in Rome on 25 January 1959. After earning a laurea at Sapienza University of Rome in 1982, supervised by Massimo Picardello, she came to the University of Chicago for graduate study in mathematics, earning a master's degree in 1985 and completing her Ph.D. in 1989.[1] Her dissertation, Invariant Geometric Structures: A Non-Linear Extension of the Borel Density Theorem, was supervised by Robert Zimmer.[3]

After postdoctoral work as a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania and a researcher at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, she took a faculty position at the University of Maryland, College Park, from 1992 to 2000.[2]

She first came to ETH Zurich as a visiting researcher in 2000–2001. After holding professorships at the University of Strasbourg in France and the University of Basel in Switzerland, she returned to ETH Zurich as a senior scientist in 2006 and took her present faculty position there in 2008.[2]

Recognition[]

Iozzi was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in the 2022 class of fellows, "for contributions to geometric group theory and the geometry of discrete subgroups of Lie groups, in particular higher Teichmuller theory".[4]
