I am a 4th year PhD student at the University of Warwick under the supervision of Martin Gallauer and Goncalo Tabuada.
I'm mainly thinking about Derived Algebraic Geometry and its interplay with Scissors Congruence and Squares K-Theory. More broadly, I'm curious about most topics in Homotopy Theory and Algebraic Geometry.
You can contact me at Pier-Federico.Pacchiarotti (at) warwick.ac.uk. A copy of my CV is available upon request.
Besides Mathematics, I'm a scout, I'm into politics and I highly appreciate figurative arts, literature, and hiking.
I'm ollaborating to run the Maths Circle at the University of Warwick on behalf of the charity WeSolveProblems. We use Maths as a tool to teach 40+ high school kids (11-16 y.o.) how to approach both problem solving and critical thinking.
This note summarises my experience organising a retreat for the Algebraic Topology research group at Warwick in Summer 2026. It is meant as a vademecum to help with the planning in case you wish to implement it a-new in your own department, as well as an occasion to promote what inspired me, hoping that it might resonate.
