Simone Coccia

About

I am a NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto, working with Prof. Daniel Litt. Previously, I spent the 2025-2026 academic year at the University of Basel, in the group of Prof. Philipp Habegger.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia in 2024, working under the supervision of Prof. Dragos Ghioca. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor and Master in Mathematics at the University of Udine, where my mentor was Prof. Pietro Corvaja.

My research interests lie in number theory and Diophantine geometry, as well as their connections to other fields. Some of the things I am interested in include integral points, Diophantine approximation, arithmetic dynamics, Drinfeld modules and the arithmetic of character varieties.
