Hi! My name is Francesca Pratali, I am currently a Postdoctoral researcher in Algebraic Topology at the Utrecht Geometry Center, Utrecht University, partly funded by the NWO XL consortium "Symmetry on the interface of topology and higher algebra". My interests lie in homotopy theory, and in Utrecht I am working primarily with Gijs Heuts and Ieke Moerdijk. 

Previously, I was a PhD student at LAGA, Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, under the supervision of Eric Hoffbeck. My PhD was founded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 945332 

I am always happy to chat about maths, so if you want to talk please contact me!

My CV is available here (last update: june 2025).

You can see here the presentation for my PhD defense, held in October 2025.
