Caterina Consani is a Professor of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University's Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. She holds a PhD from the University of Chicago (1996) and a Dottore di Ricerca in Matematica from the Universities of Genoa and Turin (1993). Her research focuses on arithmetic geometry, non-commutative geometry, and the development of absolute geometry over the 'absolute point.' She has contributed to foundational work on the BC-system, the Arithmetic Site, and the Scaling Site, linking number theory with geometric frameworks. Education: PhD in Mathematics, University of Chicago (1996); Dottore di Ricerca in Matematica, Universities of Genoa & Turin (1993). Prior to Johns Hopkins, she taught at MIT (1996–1999) and the University of Toronto (1999–2005). Research Interests: Arithmetic geometry, non-commutative geometry, absolute geometry in characteristic one, connections to number theory and the Riemann Hypothesis. Collaborations include work with Alain Connes on adele class spaces and non-commutative algebraic geometry. Awards: Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (2024); 2025 Best Paper AOFA Award (Annals of Functional Analysis). Editorial roles include the Journal of Number Theory and Journal of Noncommutative Geometry. Teaching: Offers advanced courses in algebraic geometry and number theory, including topics like étale cohomology and the yoga of weights in 'Weil II.' Grants: Supported by the Simons Foundation. Organized major conferences such as the JAMI Conference on Riemann-Roch in Characteristic One (2019).
