Rita Fioresi is Full Professor at the FaBiT Department of the University of Bologna. Her research lies at the interface of pure mathematics, theoretical physics, and artificial intelligence, with expertise in Lie theory, supergeometry, quantum groups, and deep learning. After earning her PhD in Mathematics from UCLA, she held academic positions at UCLA and the University of Bologna, where she has served in roles ranging from researcher to associate professor, and since 2025, full professor. Her work bridges foundational mathematics—particularly Lie algebras, supergroups, and quantum geometry—with emerging developments in geometric deep learning, quantum computing, and mathematically grounded AI models. Professor Fioresi has led several major European research initiatives, including MSCA Doctoral Networks and Staff Exchange projects, and currently serves as Principal Investigator and Action Chair of multiple EU-funded programs. She is an active member of the international mathematical and AI communities, serving on editorial boards of leading journals such as Journal of Lie Theory, Communications in Mathematical Physics, and International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, and is a member of the ELLIS Society.
