About me
Since January 2024 I have been a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in Dresden, Germany, within Heather A. Harrington's group.
In December 2023 I was awarded a Ph.D. in Mathematics, with label of "Doctor Europaeus", from the University of Trento, Italy, under the supervision of Alessandra Bernardi and Giorgio Maria Ottaviani.
Research
My research activity is in algebraic geometry (AG), often at the edge of representation theory. I am particularly interested in problems related to tensors in a broad sense, from secant varieties and Hilbert schemes of points to algebraic varieties enriched with group actions (e.g. rational homogeneous varieties).
I enjoy working on problems in applied algebraic geometry (AAG) as well. I am interested in algebraic varieties arising from quantum sciences (information, physics, chemistry) and machine learning. I am also studying relations between tensors, (multi)persistent homology and topological data analysis.
Upcoming Events
December 18-19, 2025 : workshop Winter Meeting in Algebra and Geometry in Rome (IT)
January 7-19, 2026 : lecture series Algebraic Curves in January in Leipzig (DE)
