Curriculum: English PDF and Italian PDF

Since March 16, 2020, I am Associate Professor of the Geoemtry group at the Mathematics Department of Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro.

I was also a Marie Curie Fellow at the Department of Mathematics of IMPERIAL COLLEGE, London. What's that?

I obtained my PhD in Mathematics at Sapienza, Università degli Studi di Roma on December 15th 2006, defending the thesis "Differential Graded Lie Algebras and Deformations of Holomorphic Maps'', advisor Prof. Marco Manetti.

I obtained my Degree in Mathematics at Sapienza, Università degli Studi di Roma on July 18th, 2002, ddefending the thesis "Su Certi gruppi di Permutazioni" (On Some Permutation Groups), advisor Prof. Marialuisa J. De Resmini.
