Damiano Rossi

I am currently a research associate at the University of Loughborough working with Jason Semeraro on the project Exotic Representation Theory funded by the EPSRC.

Previously, I was a Leibniz Fellow at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach and, before that, a research associate funded by the EPSRC at City University of London where I worked first with Radha Kessar and then with Markus Linckelmann.

I completed my PhD under the supervision of Britta Späth at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal in February 2022 as a member of the research training group GRK 2240: Algebro-Geometric Methods in Algebra, Arithmetic and Topology funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The focus of my PhD thesis was on modular representation theory of simple groups of Lie type. In this poster, you can find more information about my PhD project.

In November 2022 I was awarded the prize of the Association for the Promotion of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (Vereins zur Förderung von Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften) for the results obtained in my doctoral thesis.

I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the Università degli Studi di Firenze in 2016 and 2018 respectively. My final dissertation on monomial characters was supervised by Silvio Dolfi.
