I am based in Würzburg (Germany), in the research group of Madeleine Jotz, where I worked as postdoctoral researcher and lecturer since October 2021.

Previously, I have held short postdoctoral/visiting positions in São Paulo (with Ivan Struchiner), 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 in Utrecht, under the supervision of Marius Crainic, and previously I studied Mathematics in Torino.

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