Alessandra Sarti

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use list-defined references Alessandra Sarti (born 1974) is an Italian mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry. She is the namesake of the Sarti surface, and has also published research on [[K3 surface|Template:Math surfaces]]. She works in France as a professor at the University of Poitiers and deputy director of the Template:Ill (Insmi) of the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris.

Education and career

Sarti was born in 1974,Template:R in Ferrara, Italy. After studying for a laurea at the University of Ferrara from 1993 to 1997, she moved to Germany for graduate study in mathematics. After a year at the University of Göttingen, supported by an Italian research grant, she became a research assistant at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg.Template:R She completed her Ph.D. there in 2001, with the dissertation Pencils of symmetric surfaces in ${\mathbb{P}}_3$, supervised by Wolf Barth.Template:R

She took an assistant professor position at the University of Mainz in Germany, from 2003 to 2008, earning a habilitation there in 2007. After a temporary faculty position at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, she became a full professor at the University of Poitiers in France in 2008. At the University of Poitiers, she directed the Laboratoire de Mathématiques et Applications from 2016 to 2021.Template:R Since 2022, she has held a second affiliation as deputy director of the Institut national des sciences mathématiques et de leurs interactions of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), in Paris.Template:R

Research

Three views of the Sarti surface

Sarti is the namesake of the Sarti surfacesTemplate:R (also called Sarti dodecics)Template:R a family of degree-12 nodal surfaces with 600 nodes that she discovered in 1999Template:R and published in 2001.Template:Ran One member of the family can be chosen so that 560 of the nodes have real rather than complex coordinates.Template:R

The Sarti surface has a [[K3 surface|Template:Math surface]] as one of its quotients,Template:R and some of Sarti's other publications include research on the symmetries of Template:Math surfaces.Template:RanTemplate:Ran

Personal life

Sarti has a twin sister, Cristina Sarti, who also did a Ph.D. in mathematics in Germany.Template:R
