Lorenzo Venturello
Tenure track researcher (rtt) in Mathematics
Since February 2024 I am a tenure track researcher (rtt) in algebra at the department of information engineering and mathematical sciences of the University of Siena.
In May 2023 I obtained the national scientific habilitation (ASN) to qualify as an associate professor (II fascia).
Before that I was a researcher (rtda) at the University of Pisa, a postdoc in the Combinatorics group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, under the supervision of Petter Brändén, and a postdoc of the Research group in Nonlinear Algebra led by Bernd Sturmfels at the Max Planck Institute of Leipzig. You can find me here.
I obtained my PhD in Mathematics at the Universität Osnabrück, Germany, in the Algebra and Discrete Mathematics group. I worked under the supervision of Martina Juhnke-Kubitzke. I was also part of the DFG research training group "Combinatorial Structures in Geometry".
News: We are organizing GRADISCO, a summer school in in combinatorics which will take place in Volterra (Pisa) from June 3rd to 7th. Check it out!
News: The winter school Geometry, Algebra and Combinatorics of Moduli Spaces and Configurations VI is happening soon (February 12-16).
News: I am part of a CULT !
News: Together with Alessandro Iraci and Francesco Sala I am organizing the Seminar on Combinatorics, Lie Theory and Topology at the University of Pisa.
My interest lies in the connections and interactions between combinatorics, algebra, geometry and topology. Often combinatorial objects such as polytopes, simplicial complexes, matroids and fans encode properties of a certain associated algebraic object, and viceversa. In the field of combinatorial topology I am interested in triangulations of manifolds, possibly carrying additional structure, and how those can be connected via local moves. In many aspects of my research, programming and the use of specialized softwares are valuable resources.
