Francesca Fedele

I am currently a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, working with Bethany Marsh as part of the EPSRC grant Combinatorial Representation Theory: Algebra and its interfaces with geometry, topology and combinatorics, with PI Karin Baur. Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Verona, and based at the University of Padova, as part of the REDCOM: Reducing complexity in algebra, logic, combinatorics project with PI Lidia Angeleri Hügel. I completed my PhD at Newcastle University in 2021 under the supervision of Peter Jørgensen, there I was part of the Higher Homological Algebra group.

My main research interests are in representation theory, (higher) homological algebra, cluster theory and their combinatorial and categorical aspects. Nowadays I am also working in presentation of groups (complex reflection and complex braid groups); and building more connections between  category theory and representation theory through the study of pretorsion theories.
