Alessandra Iozzi

Alessandra Iozzi is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at ETH Zurich, where she has been an active faculty member for many years. Her office is located in HG G 37.4 at ETH Zentrum, and she maintains a strong research and teaching presence at one of the world's leading technical universities. She regularly organizes academic activities including workshops, seminars, and conferences related to her research interests.

Professor Iozzi's research focuses on bounded cohomology, Lie groups, symmetric spaces, geometric group theory, Teichmüller theory, and representation theory. Her work often involves deep connections between geometric structures and algebraic representations, with significant contributions to understanding rigidity phenomena in mathematics. She has developed important results in the theory of maximal representations and their geometric interpretations, particularly in relation to Hermitian symmetric spaces.

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on character varieties, compactifications, and the geometric structures underlying representation theory. The trend in her work shows increasing sophistication in connecting bounded cohomology with geometric structures, particularly through the study of maximal representations, geodesic currents, and their compactifications. Her research has evolved from foundational work in bounded cohomology to sophisticated applications in geometric group theory and higher Teichmüller theory.

Professor Iozzi has been actively involved in organizing numerous academic activities including the Geometry Seminar at ETHZ, the "goMATH, Frauen machen Mathematik" initiative, and various international workshops on geometric group theory, Teichmüller theory, and related topics. She has collaborated extensively with leading mathematicians including Marc Burger, Anna Wienhard, and Nicolas Monod, among others.
