From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alessandra Iozzi (born 25 January 1959) is an Italian-born mathematician known for her research in geometric group theory. Originally from Rome, she holds Italian, Swiss, and American citizenships,[1] and works as an adjunct professor of mathematics at ETH Zurich.[2]
Iozzi obtained a laurea at the Sapienza University of Rome in 1982, supervised by Massimo Picardello. Then, she moved to the University of Chicago where she earned a master's degree in 1985 and a 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 holding a lecturer position at the University of Pennsylvania for two years, she became a postdoctoral scholar first at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA and then at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. From 1992 to 2000, she held a faculty position at the University of Maryland, College Park.[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]
