Valentino Tosatti

Valentino Tosatti (born ) is an Italian mathematician.

Biography Born , in Trieste, Tosatti studied from 2000 at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and at the University of Pisa, graduating with a laurea in 2004. He then studied at Harvard University, where he graduated with an M.A. in 2005 and a Ph.D. in 2009. His Ph.D. thesis Geometry of complex Monge-Ampère equations was supervised by Shing-Tung Yau. Tosatti was from 2009 to 2012 a Joseph Fels Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University. At Northwestern University, he was an associate professor from 2012 to 2015 and a full professor from 2015 to 2020. From 2020 to 2022, he taught as a professor at McGill University. In 2022 he became a professor at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Acta Mathematica published their proof that on n-dimensional compact complex manifolds there is always a Gauduchon metric with prescribed volume form. For this purpose, the behavior of a large class of elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations of second order on Hermitian manifolds had to be investigated. In 2012, he was awarded a two-year Sloan Research Fellowship.
