Enrico Arbarello

Enrico Arbarello is a Full Professor at the University of Rome Sapienza, with a distinguished academic career spanning multiple prestigious institutions. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, moduli problems, geometry of algebraic curves, theta functions, and non-linear differential equations of KdV type. He has held visiting or teaching positions at École Polytechnique, M.I.T., Courant Institute, Tata Institute, and the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), among others.

Education:

• Laurea (Rome, 1969)
• Ph.D. (Columbia University, 1973)

Arbarello's work addresses foundational problems in algebraic geometry and integrable systems. His contributions to moduli spaces and theta functions have been particularly influential, and he has explored connections between algebraic geometry and differential equations.
