I am a fixed-term assistant professor at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L'Aquila (IT). I study partial differential equations and related mathematical problems in general relativity.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Princeton Gravity Initiative at Princeton University (US).

I obtained my Ph.D. in mathematics from Imperial College London (UK) in August 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Gustav Holzegel. My second advisor was Prof. Claude Warnick. My Ph.D. thesis is available here.
