Research interests

My current interest is in topology and geometric group theory. In particular, I enjoy studying topological invariants of manifolds, such as triangulation complexity, (integral) simplicial volume, and bounded cohomology.

Conferences and Seminars

Together with Filippo Bianchi, Elena Bogliolo, Alessio Di Prisa, Giovanni Framba, Alice Merz, Diego Santoro, I am co-organizing the workshop "LiT II: Lost in Topology" that will take place in Pisa on September 17-20, 2024.

Together with Kevin Li and Matthias Uschold, I am co-organising an International Young Seminar on Bounded Cohomology and Simplicial Volume

You are welcome to join any of these seminars!
