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. 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.
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 am currently working in optimization problems involving distance functions from submanifolds in non-linear settings, such as Schubert varieties in the real Grassmannian. Another research direction I pursue is related to tensor varieties, such as Segre or Veronese varieties. I apply a metric-based approach to study properties of random real tensors, such as their typical ranks or uniqueness of best rank-approximations.
I also really enjoy problems coming from applied algebraic geometry and would love to start working in that direction too.
The tools I use are mainly differential topology/geometry, random and integral geometry, real algebraic geometry, and o-minimal structures.
