Hello! I’m Federica. Since October 1st, 2025, I have been a Research Associate (Postdoctoral Fellow) at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, working on the project “The geometry of the isomorphism problem for Artin groups”, led by Alexandre Martin.

I defended my PhD thesis on July 9th, 2025, entitled “Topological and algebraic aspects of virtual Artin groups”, at Université Bourgogne Europe (Dijon), under the supervision of Luis Paris.

My research focuses primarily on Artin groups, Coxeter groups, virtual Artin groups, braids, and some of their generalizations. I study these objects from a geometric, topological, and combinatorial perspective.

Upcoming events and talks

I will visit Luis Paris at the Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne from February 23 until February 28.
I will attend the conference 3èmes Journées trans-Couesnon de théorie des groupes, March 16–19, at Université de Caen Normandie, France.
I will speak at the Colloque Tournant of the RT–Algèbre (CNRS), April 1–3, 2026, at Université de Tours, France.
