Short bio: I was born on December 25th, 1996 in Palermo, Italy. I obtained my Master’s degree in Mathematics cum Laude in 2020 and my PhD in Mathematics and Computational Sciences in 2024 at the Università degli Studi di Palermo, Italy, under the supervision of Prof. Giuseppe Metere and Prof. Giovanni Falcone, with a thesis entitled “On the representability of actions of non-associative algebras”.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher (Chargé de Recherches Postdoctorant) at the Institut de Recherche en Mathématique et Physique of the Université catholique de Louvain, in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, under the supervision of Prof. Tim Van der Linden. My research project is entitled “Weak representability of actions of non-associative algebras” and is funded by the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique – FNRS.
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Borsista di Ricerca Postdoc) at the Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica of the Università degli Studi di Palermo, under the supervision of Prof. Marco Elio Tabacchi, from May 2024 to June 2026. During this time I have taught “Algebra 2” for the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics (A. Y. 2024/2025), as well as “Algebra” and “Geometry” for the Bachelor’s Degrees in Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering (A. Y. 2024/2025 and 2025/2026), and “Laboratorio di Didattica dell’Algebra” in the Italian qualification program for Mathematics High Schools teachers (A.Y. 2024/2025 and 2025/2026).
I visited Tim Van der Linden at Université catholique de Louvain (in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025), Xabier García Martínez at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (in 2023), Gabor P. Nágy at University of Szeged (in 2023), Alan S. Cigoli at Università degli Studi di Torino and Giuseppe Metere at Università degli Studi di Milano Statale (in 2025), and Paola Stefanelli at Università del Salento (in 2026).
In 2024, I obtained the Italian teaching qualification (abilitazione all’insegnamento) in Mathematics and Physics for upper-secondary schools (Percorso Universitario di Formazione Iniziale dei Docenti, 60 CFU, teaching class A027). Since September 2024, I have held a permanent teaching position at the Liceo Scientifico of the Istituto di Istruzione Superiore Statale “Pio La Torre” in Palermo. I am currently on leave for research activities at the Université catholique de Louvain.
