Stefano Capparelli is an Associate Professor of Geometry at the Faculty of Engineering, Sapienza, since 1999. Habilitated as as Full Professor in Geometry. Previously he was Ricercatore Universitario of Algebra, from 1992 until 1999 at the Mathematics Department of Sapienza University. From 1990 to 1992 he was an adjunct professor at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA. From 1988 to 1990 he was J.W. Gibbs Instructor at the Mathematics Department of Yale Uiversity, New Haven, CT, USA. He received a Laurea in Matematica at Sapienza University in 1981 and Ph.D in Mathematics from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA. He was part of a team receiving an NSF grant in 1989 and 1990. He was also a participant in various PRIN in Italy, and coordinate various local research projects (Sapienza). He taught graduate courses at Yale University and at Sapienza. He visited several scientific institutions, among which USP (Sao Paulo, Brasil), Schroedinger Institute (Vienna), Rutgers University (USA), Zagreb University (Croatia).
His main interest is in the representation theory of infinite dimensional Lie algebras and connections with the combinatorics of integer partitions, in particular identities of the Rogers-Ramnujan type. He has also studied irreducibility questions of polynomials and the combinatorics of orthogonal polynomials.
