Welcome to Nicholas' web page!

I am a postdoc at the University of Turin where my mentor is Andrea Seppi. My research is funded by the ERC Consolidator grant GENERATE: GEometry and aNalysis for (G,X)-structurEs and theiR deformATion spacEs

From January to March 2026, I will be teaching a 20-hour PhD course, organized in the form of seminars, on the non-abelian Hodge correspondence.

I obtained my PhD at SISSA, in October 2023, under the supervision of Andrea Tamburelli (Pisa University). Here is my PhD thesis.

My primary research area is Differential Geometry and Geometric Topology. In particular, I am interested in the study of higher rank Teichmüller spaces, geometric structures, Higgs bundles and minimal/maximal surfaces into homogeneous spaces. From time to time I also like to learn new topics about complex differential and algebraic geometry.
