MATHS
Welcome! I'm Elena Pascucci.
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Mathematics of the University of Porto (CMUP). I completed my PhD in Mathematics at Sapienza Università di Roma in February 2025, under the supervision of Ernesto Spinelli. Following this, I held a Postdoctoral position at the same institution, where I worked alongside Giovanni Cerulli Irelli.
My research primarily involves using combinatorial methods and representation theory to explore the world of PI-algebras—specifically those with extra structures, such as group gradings or traces.
I’m always open to discussing new ideas, so feel free to take a look at my work or drop me a line if you’d like to chat!
