Francesca Balestrieri is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Science at the American University of Paris (AUP). She holds a DPhil in Arithmetic Geometry from the University of Oxford (2017) and a Laurea Magistrale in Scienze Filosofiche from Ca' Foscari University of Venice (2020). Her research focuses on arithmetic geometry, specifically rational points and zero-cycles on algebraic varieties, with interdisciplinary interests in philosophy and artificial intelligence. She has held postdoctoral positions at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and a Marie Curie Fellowship at IST Austria. She teaches courses in mathematics, data science, and AI at AUP.
- PhD: DPhil in Arithmetic Geometry, University of Oxford (2013–2017)
- MSc: Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science, University of Oxford (2012–2013)
- BA/MA: Mathematical Tripos, University of Cambridge (2009–2012)
Her research bridges pure mathematics with applied fields like technology policy, reflected in her co-authored books *Guerra digitale* (2019) and *Tecnologie dell'impero* (2024), analyzing tech geopolitics. Recent work includes studies on Brauer-Manin obstructions, Campana points, and AI applications. She also explores the philosophy of mathematics, particularly Wittgenstein’s rule-following paradox.
Notable awards include the 2-year Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2019–2021). She actively contributes to teaching, including courses on calculus, statistics, and probability, while leading projects on AI ethics and machine learning applications in speech editing and environmental modeling.
