Giulia Codenotti

Prof. Giulia Codenotti is a Junior Professor in the Discrete Geometry and Topological Combinatorics Group at the Institute of Mathematics, Freie Universität Berlin. Her research focuses on lattice polytopes, convex geometry, and simplicial complexes, with an emphasis on unimodular covers, triangulations, and algebraic-topological invariants. She holds an office at Arnimallee 2, Room 105/103, and can be reached at giulia.codenotti@fu-berlin.de.

Her academic roles include teaching courses like "Discrete Geometry 1" and supervising research in combinatorial and convex geometry. Prior to her position at FU Berlin, she taught at Goethe University Frankfurt, leading seminars and exercise sessions in discrete mathematics and geometric optimization.

Research Interests:

• Discrete and combinatorial geometry
• Lattice polytopes and their subdivisions
• Triangulations and unimodular covers
• Algebraic and topological invariants of simplicial complexes
• Covering minima and convex body geometry

Outreach Activities:

• Soapbox Science Berlin (2019) - Public engagement on higher-dimensional geometry
• Girls' Day initiatives for promoting STEM among schoolgirls
• Co-creator of Polytopia, a project showcasing polyhedrons to the public

Teaching Philosophy: Emphasizes foundational concepts in discrete geometry through problem-solving, with active participation in exercise sessions and rigorous assessment criteria including coursework and exams.
