Since October 2025, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, in Leipzig, Germany. I am part of the Nonlinear Algebra Group led by Bernd Sturmfels. From January to May 2027, I will be an ICERM Semester Postdoc for the Metric Algebraic Geometry: Going Global program.
I am currently on the job market for positions starting in June 2027 or later.
I obtained my PhD in September 2025 from the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA), in Trieste, Italy, where I worked in the group of Real Geometry under the supervision of Antonio Lerario.
Upcoming events:
INABAG 2026 School and Conference, Siena, 31/08-04/09/2026
Metric Algebraic Geometry: Going Global, Providence (RI), 20/01-23/04/2027
My main research interest is Metric Algebraic Geometry, i.e. the study of metric properties of (real) algebraic varieties; these include their reach, curvature coefficients, volumes of tubes and many more. I aim to build new bridges between the differential and algebraic aspects of these objects, using tools from one side to shed more light on the other. As an example, we have used techniques from integral geometry to compute the degrees of some tensor network varieties.
I apply the same approach to optimization problems involving distance functions from submanifolds in non-linear settings, such as Schubert and matroid varieties in the real Grassmannian.
