Maurizio Cornalba

Maurizio Cornalba is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Pavia, within the Algebra and Geometry research group. His work bridges algebraic geometry and ecological studies, with contributions to moduli spaces and biodiversity conservation. Active across disciplines, he has authored foundational texts like *Geometry of Algebraic Curves* and pioneered research on bumblebee distribution shifts under climate change.

Research interests include algebraic curves, moduli theory, and pollinator ecology. Recent work focuses on alpine insect biodiversity and climate-driven species range dynamics. His mathematical contributions address complex structures in geometry and topology, while ecological studies emphasize conservation strategies for cold-adapted species.

Publications span over four decades, with key contributions in *Inventiones Mathematicae*, *Journal of Algebraic Geometry*, and entomological journals. Engages in interdisciplinary projects linking pure mathematics to ecological applications, such as DNA barcoding for species identification.
