Interview with Giovanni S. Alberti

Abstract

Giovanni S. Alberti (born 1987) studied mathematics in Genoa and obtained his PhD from Oxford University in 2014. He was a postdoc at École Normale Supérieure Paris (2014–2015) and at ETH Zürich (2015–2016). Since 2016 he has been a professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genoa, first as an assistant, then an associate (2022), and since 2024 as a full professor. He is a member of the Machine Learning Genoa Center (MaLGa). He received the Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems Young Scientist Award in 2018 and the Calderón Prize in 2025. His research interests lie in the analysis of PDEs, inverse problems, functional analysis, applied harmonic analysis, wavelets, compressed sensing and machine learning. He is currently heading an ERC Starting Grant (2022–2027).
