Hi! I'm Lorenzo Barban.
I'm a postdoc at the Center of Complex Geometry (IBS), in Daejeon, South Korea.
I have obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Trento, working with Prof. L. E. Solà Conde and Prof. E. A. Romano.
I'm interested in algebraic geometry, in particular on the interplay between birational geometry and torus actions, and the automorphism group of spherical varieties. In my research, I frequently work with Mori dream spaces: toric varieties, rational homogeneous spaces, spherical varieties.
News:
I will participate in the summer school SinG - Trento;
I will participate in the conference Algebraic Geometry 2026;
I will participate in the workshop Horospherical Varieties 2026, and give a talk about Chow quotients of flag varieties!
The paper Constructing geometric realizations of birational maps between Mori dream spaces has appeared on Experimental Mathematics!
