I completed my PhD in June 2020 at the University of Salento under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Catino.
My PhD thesis focuses on the Pentagon Equation, above all set-theoretic solutions defined on specific semigroups.
Currently, I am a Research Fellow from July 2020 at the University of Salento under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Catino. I am working on algebraic structures connected to the Yang-Baxter Equation, such as semi-braces and weak braces. Moreover, I am investigating special classes of set-theoretic solutions to the Pentagon Equation.
