Nicola Arcozzi is full Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the University of Bologna. His research focuses on spaces of holomorphic functions, potential theory and analysis on metric spaces, with a particular interest in discrete models for continuous problems.
Gianluca Giacchi is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano. His research centres on harmonic and time–frequency analysis, particularly metaplectic operators, with applications to partial differential equations and signal analysis.
Itamar Oliveira is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Birmingham. His research explores harmonic analysis and its connections with partial differential equations, with particular interests in Fourier restriction and extension problems, oscillatory operators and Schrödinger equations.
About the Workshop
Some Like It Fourier is a workshop bringing together a small group of researchers sharing a common interest in harmonic analysis and multiresolution techniques. Our aim is to foster a close-knit scientific community, creating opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss current research problems, and establish new collaborations.
We are living through a period of remarkable change. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence are opening new possibilities while raising fundamental questions about the future of academic research. In this evolving landscape, we believe that small scientific communities have an increasingly important role to play. Strengthening connections, supporting one another, and cultivating genuine intellectual exchange will be essential to preserving the creativity and vitality of mathematical research.
Some Like It Fourier is a first step in this direction.
The workshop will feature talks on current topics in harmonic analysis and related fields, delivered by young researchers from across Europe who represent the next generation of our discipline. Beyond the scientific programme, we hope to provide a welcoming and stimulating environment in which ideas can flourish, collaborations can begin, and lasting connections can be made.
Above all, Some Like It Fourier is an invitation to come together, share our enthusiasm for mathematics, and help shape the future of our community.

Mathematics at the University of Bologna has a history stretching back to the 12th century. Over the centuries, Bologna has played an important role in the development of mathematical analysis, notably through the work of Cesare Arzelà and Salvatore Pincherle, who founded the Italian Mathematical Union in 1922. Formally established in 1983, the present Department of Mathematics is housed in a building designed by Giovanni Michelucci, near Porta San Donato and along the line of Bologna’s ancient city walls.

A note on public transport tickets
In Bologna, you can conveniently pay for public transport using your contactless debit or credit card, without purchasing a ticket in advance.
For the Marconi Express, simply tap your card at the ticket gates, both when entering and leaving. On city buses, tap your card on the green validators when boarding. The fare is calculated and charged automatically, and your card serves as your ticket.
Tip: Always use the same card throughout your journey. Your Marconi Express ticket also includes 75 minutes of travel on Bologna's city buses, at no additional cost.
From Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, take the Marconi Express to Bologna Centrale railway station.
Bologna Centrale has two main entrances, located on opposite sides of the railway tracks and connected by pedestrian underpasses. To reach the Piazza delle Medaglie d’Oro exit, follow the overhead signs and the arrows marked on the floor, directing you towards Platforms 1 – 11.
Once you reach the underpass serving the ground-level platforms (1–11), simply follow the signs towards Platform 1 and exit the station onto Piazza delle Medaglie d’Oro.
From Piazza Medaglie d'Oro, the Department of Mathematics is a pleasant 15 – 20-minute walk away. Bologna is famous for its beautiful historic porticoes, which line much of the route and offer welcome shelter from both rain and sun. Alternatively, the Department can easily be reached by bus.

Before you go: Finding the right bus stop
Before you go: Finding the right bus stop
Bus stops around Bologna Centrale are spread across a fairly large area, extending from Piazza delle Medaglie d'Oro to Porta Galliera.
We recommend using Google Maps, which works very well for public transport in Bologna. It will help you identify both the most convenient bus to catch based on real-time departures and the exact location of its stop.
A few words on bus etiquette in Bologna
A few words on bus etiquette in Bologna
There are three not-so-local customs worth keeping in mind:
Signal to the driver when you want to board. When you see your bus approaching, make a sign with your hand to let the driver know you wish to get on. Otherwise, the bus might not stop! This does not apply at terminal stops.
Use the designated doors. Buses have separate doors for boarding and getting off, clearly marked by large stickers. Make sure you use the correct ones.
Request your stop. Remember to press one of the stop buttons in advance to let the driver know where you want to get off.
Bus routes to the Department
Bus routes to the Department
Two main bus routes connect Bologna Centrale to the Department of Mathematics, with a journey time of approximately 12–14 minutes.
Line 32
Exit Bologna Centrale onto Piazza delle Medaglie d'Oro. With your back to the station, cross the main road in front of you (Viale Pietro Pietramellara) using the pedestrian crossing on your left.
Once across, you will find the bus 32 stop immediately to the right of the crossing, marked by a bus-stop signpost.
Take bus 32 and get off at Porta San Donato.
The bus stop is just past the Department, so walk back a few dozen metres and turn left towards Piazza di Porta San Donato. You will find the Department there.
Bus 36
Bus 36 departs from Piazza XX Settembre, a short walk from the station.
Exit Bologna Centrale onto Piazza delle Medaglie d'Oro. With your back to the station, cross the main road using the pedestrian crossing on your right, then turn left towards Piazza XX Settembre.
When you reach the square, follow the road curving around its right-hand side. You will find the bus stop on the side of the road closest to the square.
Take bus 36 and get off at Porta San Donato.
After getting off, cross the road, facing away from the bus. You will find yourself at Piazza di Porta San Donato, with the Department of Mathematics directly ahead of you. Simply cross the square, and you have arrived!
