Luca Moci

Luca Moci is a Full Professor of Geometry at the University of Bologna's Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on applications of combinatorics to representation theory, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology. Notable topics include matroids, Tutte polynomials, hyperplane arrangements, and tropical geometry. He has held positions at TU Berlin, Mittag-Leffler Institute, and Università di Roma 1, and served as a Marie Curie Fellow at INdAM. He taught at Université Paris 7 and organized major research programs like the 'Perspectives in Lie Theory' and 'CoMeTA - Combinatorial Methods in Topology and Algebra' workshops.

Education: PhD in Mathematics from Roma Tre University (2010) under Corrado De Concini. Postdoctoral research included stays at prestigious institutions like MSRI and Oxford. Teaching roles span undergraduate and graduate courses in algebra, geometry, and discrete mathematics across multiple universities.

Research interests emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, blending combinatorial structures with topological and algebraic methods. Over 50 conference talks and presentations, including at MIT, UC Berkeley, and Princeton. Editorial board member for Springer's 'Combinatorial Methods in Topology and Algebra' and reviewer for leading journals like Advances in Mathematics and Journal of Algebra.

Key contributions include foundational work on matroids over rings, arithmetic matroids, and toric arrangements. His articles explore geometric realizations, duality theories, and polynomial invariants in combinatorial and algebraic contexts. Active in academic service, including organizing international research programs and editorial activities.
