Currently I am a postdoc at the Mathematical Institute of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in the algebra and number theory group.  


I received both my Bachelor and Master degrees in Mathematics at the University of Bari (Italy). 


In 2012 I obtained a fellowship funded by "Regione Puglia" to join the PhD programme of the University of Bari but I developed my PhD thesis under the supervision of Thomas Weigel (University of Milano-Bicocca, IT)


After obtaining the PhD degree (2015), I moved to Udine to work with Anna Giordano Bruno on the entropy of topological and algebraic structures.

On October 2016 I was appointed by Peter Kropholler for a two-year research fellow at University of Southampton (UK) to work on a project on cohomology of groups.

After the experience in Southampton, I went back to Udine for six months as a research fellow and, on June 2019, I joined back the algebra group at the University of Milano-Bicocca for a three years.

On October 2022 I started a 2-year postdoc at Bielefeld as member of the working groups of Kai-Uwe Bux and Christopher Voll.
