Gianluca OcchettaView profile
Professor
Gianluca Occhetta is a Full Professor of Geometry at the Department of Mathematics, University of Trento. His expertise spans algebraic geometry, Fano varieties, Mori theory, projective geometry, and rational homogeneous manifolds. He has supervised numerous theses across undergraduate and graduate programs, focusing on geometric topics like Schubert varieties, Grassmannians, and birational transformations. Research interests include the classification of algebraic varieties, birational geometry, and the study of vector bundles on Fano manifolds. His work often intersects with Mori theory, exploring extremal rays, rational curves, and geometric realizations of birational maps. Notable contributions involve characterizing rational homogeneous spaces via group actions and analyzing morphisms between Grassmannians. Over 84 theses have been supervised or examined, reflecting his commitment to mentoring students in geometry and algebraic structures. His publications (over 50 since 2000) emphasize geometric invariant theory, Chow quotients, and the interplay between algebraic varieties and group actions. A PDF CV provides further details on his academic trajectory and contributions.
