Barbara Fantechi is an Italian mathematician and Professor at the International School for Advanced Studies. Her research area is algebraic geometry. She is a member of the Accademia dei Lincei.

Early life and education

Fantechi received her Laurea from the University of Pisa in 1988, with thesis Secanti di varietà proiettive e applicazioni.[1][2][3] Her doctoral advisor was Fabrizio Catanese.[3]

Research and career

Her research considers algebraic geometry.[4] She has developed the mathematical theories that underpin algebraic stacks. Stacks were first introduced to understand the moduli space of curves.[5][6]

Honours and awards

In 2018, Fantechi received the Prof. Luigi Tartufari award from the Accademia dei Lincei.[7] She was awarded the MSRI Chancellor's Professorship for 2017-2018, and spent a year at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] In 2022, Fantechi was the first woman mathematician to become a member of the Accademia dei Lincei.[8][9]
