Simone Cecchini

Simone Cecchini is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on the intersection of analysis, geometry, and topology, particularly scalar curvature in Riemannian manifolds and mathematical general relativity. He holds a PhD from Northeastern University (2017), supervised by Maxim Braverman, and a Master’s from Sapienza University of Rome (2012), advised by Paolo Piazza. His work is supported by the Simons Foundation and the NSF.

Research interests include scalar curvature rigidity, positive mass theorems, noncommutative geometry, and geometric analysis. He co-organized the MAGEC 2024 workshop at Caltech and contributes to initiatives like TAMU Math Circle. Teaching includes Algebraic Topology II and Linear Algebra. He co-organizes the Noncommutative Geometry Seminar at Texas A&M.
