I am a tenure-track researcher (RTD-B) at the University of Pisa.
Before that I was a PostDoc at the University of Freiburg (in the group of Prof. Wolfgang Soergel).
In the academic year 2020/21 I was a Junior Fellow at FRIAS

(Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies). I was a PostDoc at MSRI, Berkeley, during the semester Group Representation Theory and Applications.

I completed my PhD in January 2018 at the Max Planck Institute, Bonn, under the supervision of Geordie Williamson.

Research Interests

My research area is called Geometric Representation Theory.
I enjoy thinking primarily about aspects of representation theory that can be "seen" geometrically.
I am particularly interested in the following topic:

  • Hecke algebras and their several categorifications (via Soergel bimodules, diagrammatically, geometrically, etc.)
  • Kazhdan-Lusztig Combinatorics
  • Crystal graphs
  • Perverse sheaves
  • Hodge Theory
  • Flag manifolds and the geometry of Schubert varieties
  • Koszul Duality
  • Affine Grassmannians and Geometric Satake Correspondence
  • Quantum groups and KLR algebras
  • Nilpotent Orbits and Springer Correspondence
  • Representations of Algebraic Groups
