Daniele Turchetti

Daniele Turchetti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University, where he teaches advanced mathematics and data science courses. His academic journey includes a PhD from Paris-Saclay University (2014) and postdoctoral positions at Leiden University, Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics, Caen University, Dalhousie University, and Warwick University.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Mathematics from University of Paris-Saclay (2011-2014)

Turchetti's research spans pure mathematics and educational applications. His primary interests focus on the intersection of algebraic geometry and number theory, particularly non-Archimedean analytic geometry, Galois theory, and their applications to problems in positive characteristic. He also explores connections to toric varieties, logarithmic structures, dynamical systems, and modular forms. In addition, he has developed significant interests in mathematics education, including e-assessment, student engagement, and the application of statistical learning to advance pure mathematics.

His publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on Berkovich geometry and related topics in non-Archimedean geometry, with recent expansion into applications of algebraic geometry to other scientific fields and machine learning techniques in mathematical research. His work often involves collaborations with researchers across Europe and North America.

Turchetti is actively involved in mathematical outreach, serving as chair of the mathematical science outreach committee at Durham University. He has collaborated with numerous organizations including Images des Mathématiques, Fête de la Science, and various STEM outreach initiatives in Atlantic Canada and the UK, focusing on demonstrating that 'mathematics is useful, empowering, and beautiful' to diverse audiences.

As an educator, he teaches courses including 'Data Exploration, Visualization, and Unsupervised Learning' and 'Multilevel Modelling,' and supervises undergraduate research projects on algebraic geometry topics. His teaching philosophy emphasizes effective assimilation of mathematical concepts and communicating the beauty of mathematics to students.
