Roberto Pignatelli

Roberto Pignatelli is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Trento. He holds a PhD in Mathematics (2000) from the University of Pisa and has been a member of the Italian Mathematical Union and GNSAGA-INdAM since 2010.

• Professor of Advanced Geometry (2009-2024) and Geometry & Linear Algebra (2023-2024)
• Advisor for Master's theses and Research Supervision

Research Focus: Deformations of algebraic varieties, finite group actions on algebraic varieties, fibrations, and classification of general type surfaces. His work explores canonical maps, Gorenstein rings, and product-quotient surfaces.

Publications Trends: Recent work spans symmetric products (2025), canonical threefolds (2024), and Coleman-Oort conjecture (2023). His papers frequently combine algebraic geometry with computational methods.
