We are willing to supervise BSc and MSc projects, from literature reviews to research-focused projects, whether with a computational, experimental, or theoretical flavour.
We are also eager to supervise PhD research projects within the PhD programme in Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics of the University of Florence.
If you have ideas and personal interests, we encourage you to develop them with us. You can find the general research topics that interest us most at this page, and also draw inspiration from the list of past thesis titles below. Please get in touch!
