معرفی
Albachiara Cogo is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Geometric Analysis, Differential Geometry and Relativity Theory group at the University of Tübingen's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of Mathematics. She obtained her PhD in July 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Gerhard Huisken and Prof. Carla Cederbaum, following a Master's double degree program between the University of Trento and University of Tübingen supervised by Carla Cederbaum and Lorenzo Mazzieri. From October 2025, she will serve as a 2-year Junior Visitor at the De Giorgi Centre (Scuola Normale Superiore) in Pisa.
Her research focuses on Geometric Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs with applications to General Relativity, specializing in Maximal Surfaces in asymptotically flat spacetimes, Metrics with Lower Regularity (including Yamabe problem solutions), Ancient Solutions to Fully Nonlinear Geometric Flows, Equipotential Photon Surfaces in Static Spacetimes, and Gluing Problems for Initial Data Sets. Her work bridges theoretical mathematics with gravitational physics through rigorous analysis of elliptic and parabolic PDEs.
Her publication record demonstrates expertise across multiple subdomains of geometric relativity, with recent articles in Classical and Quantum Gravity, Journal of Mathematical Physics, and Annales Henri Poincaré, alongside numerous preprints on arXiv addressing conformal structures, photon surface uniqueness, and curvature flows. She has presented her research at major international venues including Stanford University, University of Copenhagen, Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, and University of Colorado Boulder.
Cogo actively contributes to academic service as an elected member of the Faculty Council of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Tübingen (2023/2024) and Vice President of the Postgraduate Convention of the Faculty of Science (2022/2023-2023/2024). She has co-organized the young researchers' workshop BIGW V on Mathematical General Relativity (July 2024) and taught exercise classes in Ricci Flow, Nonlinear Elliptic PDEs, Riemannian Geometry, and Mathematical Relativity at Tübingen, along with tutoring roles at the University of Trento.
