Prof. Marta Mazzocco studied Theoretical Physics at the University of Padova and then obtained a PhD in Mathematical Physics at SISSA, Trieste in 1998. After a brief stay at MSRI Berkeley, she spent all of her academic career in the United Kingdom, until she was awarded an ICREA Senior Researcher position in 2024 and moved to UPC in Barcelona.

I am a mathematical physicist specializing in Integrable Systems, namely mathematical problems often motivated by Theoretical Physics that present unexpected beauty - a serendipity of geometric/algebraic/analytical structures that lead solvability in some sense. My scientific interests include isomonodromic deformations and their quantization, (quantum) Teichmüller theory, double affine Hecke algebras and basic orthogonal polynomials.

My recent research focuses on the moduli spaces (equivalence classes) of meromorphic connections. My research combines areas of pure mathematics such as analysis, geometry, mathematical physics and algebra, in order to access the valuable information that these, often singular and high dimensional spaces, codify.
