Sara Negri facts for kids
Sara Negri was born on January 21, 1967. She is a brilliant Italian scientist who studies mathematical logic and proof theory. Think of it like solving very complex puzzles using advanced math rules! She worked for many years in Finland, where she was a professor at the University of Helsinki. Today, she is a professor of mathematical logic at the University of Genoa in Italy.
Her Journey in Science
Sara Negri was born in a city called Padua. She went to the University of Padua to study mathematics. She earned her first advanced degree, a master's degree, in 1991. Then, in 1996, she earned her highest degree, a Ph.D., also in mathematics. Her Ph.D. project was about a topic called Formal Topology to Analysis.
After finishing her studies, she moved to Helsinki, Finland, in 1998. She started as a special lecturer and became a full professor there in 2015. She also visited other universities for short periods. For example, she had a special fellowship in Germany from 2004 to 2005. In 2019, she returned to Italy and became a full professor of mathematical logic at the University of Genoa.
Special Achievements
In 2018, Sara Negri was chosen to be a member of the Academia Europaea. This is a very important group of top scientists and scholars from all over Europe. Being elected means her work is highly respected and recognized by other experts in her field.
Books She Wrote
Sara Negri has written two important books with another scientist named Jan von Plato:
- Structural Proof Theory (published in 2001)
- Proof Analysis: A Contribution to Hilbert's Last Problem (published in 2011)
These books are about advanced topics in proof theory, which is a part of mathematical logic. They help other scientists understand how to build and analyze mathematical proofs.
