Sara Azzali

Sara Azzali is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Bari Aldo Moro. Her research lies at the intersection of geometry, topology, and operator algebras, with a focus on K-theory, spectral invariants, and noncommutative geometry.

• Current research areas include applications of K-homology to braid groups, spectral zeta-invariants, and the Baum-Connes conjecture
• Active in teaching geometry and discrete mathematics, with recent courses in 2024/2025 academic year
• Collaborates with prominent mathematicians including Sylvie Paycha and Georges Skandalis

Her publications span topics from L2-index theorems to rho invariants in noncommutative geometry. She offers office hours Thursday afternoons in room 16, Department of Mathematics, or via videoconferencing.
