Career
editMarcolli obtained her Laurea in Physics in 1993 summa cum laude from the University of Milan under the supervision of Renzo Piccinini, with a thesis on Classes of self equivalences of fibre bundles.[1] She moved to the USA in 1994, where she obtained a master's degree (1994) and a PhD (1997) in Mathematics from the University of Chicago, under the supervision of Melvin Rothenberg, with a thesis on Three dimensional aspects of Seiberg-Witten Gauge Theory. Between 1997 and 2000 she worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a C.L.E. Moore instructor in the Department of Mathematics.[2]
Between 2000 and 2010 she held a C3 position (German equivalent of associate professor) at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and held an associate professor position (courtesy) at Florida State University in Tallahassee. She also held an honorary professorship at the University of Bonn. From 2008 to 2017 she was a full professor of Mathematics in the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy of the California Institute of Technology. Between 2018 and 2020 she was a professor in the mathematics department of the University of Toronto and a member of the Perimeter Institute.[3] She is currently the Robert F. Christy Professor of Mathematics and Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the California Institute of Technology.
She held visiting positions at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, the Mittag-Leffler Institute in Stockholm, the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California.[4]
Research
editMarcolli's research work has covered different areas of mathematics and theoretical physics: gauge theory and low-dimensional topology,[5][6] algebraic-geometric structures in quantum field theory,[7][8] noncommutative geometry with applications to number theory[9][10] and to physics models, especially related to particle physics,[11] quantum gravity[12] and cosmology,[13][14] and to the quantum Hall effect.[15][16] She also worked in linguistics.
She has collaborated with several other mathematicians, physicists, and linguists,[17] among them Yuri I. Manin, Alain Connes, Michael Atiyah, Roger Penrose, Noam Chomsky. Twenty six graduate students obtained their PhD under her supervision between 2006 and 2022.[18]
Honors and awards
editIn 2001 she obtained the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)[19] and in 2002 the Sofia Kovalevskaya Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.[20] She was a plenary speaker in the 2008 European Congress of Mathematics in Amsterdam (with a talk on Renormalization, Galois symmetries and motives)[21] and an invited speaker of the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad (with a talk on Noncommutative Geometry and Arithmetic).[22]
