معرفی
Dr. Sofia Tirabassi is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University, where she has been affiliated since 2019. She leads the research group 'Algebra, Geometry, Topology, and Combinatorics' and directs projects funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Swedish Research Council (VR). Her work bridges algebraic geometry, derived categories, and arithmetic geometry, with emphasis on positive characteristic and birational classification.
She holds a Ph.D. from Università degli Studi Roma Tre (2012), an M.Sc. and B.Sc. from the University of Bologna. Previously, she held positions at the University of Bergen, University of Utah, and University of Warsaw as a Marie Curie Fellow.
Her research explores two primary areas: (1) Derived categories in positive characteristic, investigating invariants of algebraic varieties, and (2) Birational characterization of semiabelian varieties, developing tools for effective classification. Her publications frequently address geometric structures like abelian surfaces, Enriques surfaces, and cohomological properties.
Tirabassi's recent articles (2020-2024) demonstrate a focus on surfaces in positive characteristic, derived equivalences, and quasi-abelian varieties. Common themes include Fourier-Mukai transforms, Brauer groups, and log-canonical thresholds, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement with combinatorics and topology.
Awards & Fellowships:
- Marie Curie Fellowship (European Commission)
- International Postdoctoral Scholarship (Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation)
- Young Research Talents Grant (Research Council of Norway)
Grants & Projects: She currently leads 'Generic Vanishing and Characterization of Semiabelian Varieties' (VR-funded) and hosts a guest professorship for Rita Pardini. Past projects include 'Derived Categories in Positive Characteristic' (KAW Foundation) and 'The Arithmetic of Derived Categories' (Norway).
Teaching: In 2024/2025, she instructs courses in Galois Theory, Combinatorics, Abstract Algebra, and Topology, and is developing a master's course in Algebraic Geometry.
