I am an assegnista di ricerca (postdoc) at the Università di Padova. My interests are in representation theory and related areas.
Previously I was an LMS early career research fellow at the University of Cambridge, and before that a PhD student at the University of Oxford supervised by Konstantin Ardakov.
My CV is available here.
