Hi, I am Oliviero Malech!

I am a PhD student at SISSA in Trieste (Italy) under the supervision of Prof. Rafael Torres.

I am interested in 4-manifold topology and knot theory. My main focus is in exotic surfaces in 4-manifolds, that is different embeddings of surfaces in the same space that are different from a smooth point of view but they are the same in the topological category. I really love the constructions of weird topological spaces and related invariants.
