I am a postdoc in the Hitchin–Ngô Laboratory at ICMAT under the supervision of Oscar García-Prada.
Previously I held postdoctoral positions at the Institute Fourier and at the University of Turin where my mentor was Andrea Seppi. My research was funded by the ERC Consolidator grant GENERATE: GEometry and aNalysis for (G,X)-structurEs and theiR deformATion spacEs
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.
