Cristina Acciari

Cristina Acciari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical, Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, specializing in Algebra (MATH-02/A).

Her research focuses on abstract algebra and mathematical foundations with expertise in:

• Group Theory and its applications
• Field Theory and Galois Theory
• p-adic Number systems
• Foundations of Mathematics
• Historical development of mathematical concepts
• Set Theory and Mathematical Logic

Professor Acciari teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including Algebra A, Algebraic Structures, and Fundamentals of Mathematics. Her Algebra A course provides foundational knowledge of abstract algebra with emphasis on group theory, while her graduate courses delve into advanced topics like Galois theory, field extensions, and cyclotomic extensions. She also teaches courses examining the historical development of mathematical concepts from Euclid's Elements to modern mathematical analysis.

Her teaching approach emphasizes both theoretical foundations and practical applications, with courses structured to develop students' ability to apply mathematical knowledge, recognize solution methods, and communicate using appropriate technical language.

Professor Acciari maintains an active academic presence with a personal website (https://acciarric.github.io/) and ORCID identifier 0000-0002-7895-7705. She holds office hours by appointment at the Mathematics building (Via Campi 213/b, 41125 Modena - Office Code: MO-18-03-006).
