Bio

“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 at the Università di Pisa, appointed in Apr. 2025. In Mar. 2026, I was an OIST Visiting Scholar, hosted by Ugur Abdulla.

I was elected to the European Mathematical Society Young Academy for the 2026–2029 term. Since 2026, I am the inaugural coordinator of the SIMAI Activity Group “SMART PDE — Strumenti di Modellistica e Analisi per Ricerca Trasferibile su PDE”.

From Sept. 2023 to Mar. 2025, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the “Chaire d’Analyse Mathématique, Calcul des Variations et Équations aux Dérivées Partielles” of Maria Colombo at EPFL.

From Apr. 2020 to Aug. 2023, I was a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter in the “Chair for Dynamics, Control, Machine Learning and Numerics” at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, and I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics, summa cum laude, in Jul. 2023 under the supervision of Enrique Zuazua. In Sept.–Oct. 2022, a Visiting Doctoral Researcher at Universität Münster, hosted by Christian Seis and supported by the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster: Dynamics–Geometry–Structure.

From Mar. 2018 to Mar. 2020, I was a Master’s student in Mathematics at Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (advisors: Stefano BianchiniGiuseppe Maria Coclite, and Luciano Lopez), graduating with a final mark of 110 e lode. From Sept. 2014 to Mar. 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 Feb. to Sept. 2019, I held an internship position at BCAM, supervised by Nicole Cusimano and Félix del Teso. From Sept. to Dec. 2018, I held a research training fellowship for undergraduate students at SISSA, under the supervision of Stefano Bianchini. From Jun. to Aug. 2018, I interned in Julian Fischer‘s research group at ISTA.
