I am currently a visiting researcher in São Paulo (Brazil), supported by a FAPESP grant; I am based in Würzburg (Germany), in the research group of Madeleine Jotz, where I worked as postdoctoral researcher since October 2021.

Previously, I have held short postdoctoral/visiting positions in Vienna (at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute with Andreas Čap and the Wolfgang Pauli Institute with Barbara Tumpach) and in Leuven (with Marco Zambon).

I received my PhD in 2020 from Utrecht University, under the supervision of Marius Crainic, and previously I studied Mathematics in Torino (Italy).

I am on the job market for academic positions starting in the summer 2026.
