“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.”
—Anaïs Nin, D. H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study, Black Spring Press, 1985, p. 20.
I am a tenure-track assistant professor (ricercatore a tempo determinato in tenure-track, RTT) in Mathematical Analysis in the Department of Mathematics at the Università di Pisa, appointed in April 2025. I am a member of the 2026–29 cohort of the European Mathematical Society Young Academy.
From September 2023 to March 2025, I was a postdoc in the lab of Maria Colombo (“Chaire d’Analyse Mathématique, Calcul des Variations et Équations aux Dérivées Partielles”) at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne).
From April 2020 to August 2023, I was a doctoral candidate and Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (scientific assistant) in the “Chair for Dynamics, Control, Machine Learning and Numerics” at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg: I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics, summa cum laude, on 24/07/2023 under the supervision of Enrique Zuazua.
From March 2018 to March 2020, I was a Master’s student in Mathematics at Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (advisors: Stefano Bianchini, Giuseppe Maria Coclite, and Luciano Lopez), graduating with a final mark of 110 e lode. From September 2014 to March 2018, I was a Bachelor’s student in Mathematics at Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (advisors: Giuseppe Maria Coclite and Mario Michele Coclite), also graduating with 110 e lode.
From February to September 2019, I held an internship position at BCAM, supervised by Nicole Cusimano and Félix del Teso. From September to December 2018, I held a research training fellowship for undergraduate students at SISSA, under the supervision of Stefano Bianchini. From June to August 2018, I interned in Julian Fischer‘s research group at IST Austria.
Here is my long-form Curriculum Vitæ et Studiorum: CV (EN) & CV (ITA).
