Grants

My work has attracted international recognition. In 2012, I was interviewed for a Lecturer position at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Also in 2012, Peter Grabner (TU Graz) invited me to participate in the research program on “Minimal Energy Point Sets, Lattices, and Designs” at the Erwin Schrödinger Institut, Vienna, which I attended in 2014. 

In 2013, Alvise Sommariva and Marco Vianello (U Padova) invited me to apply for grants from PISCOPIA (University of Padova) and from INdAM-COFUND for a two-year fellowship at the University of Padova. In 2014, they again invited me to apply for the PISCOPIA grant. In 2015, I visited Giacomo Gigante of the University of Bergamo for one month, with accommodation paid by that university, funded by "Progetto ITALY®-Azione 3: Grants for Visiting Professor and Scholar”.
