Welcome!
I am a mathematician working in Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra, with a focus on the study of tensors from both a theoretical and applied perspective. I am passionate about teaching and I always try to find new ways to engage students during my lectures. I am also committed about mentoring young researchers and helping them to develop their skills and reach their full potential. I am also involved in several outreach activities aimed at promoting mathematics to a wider audience.
I agree with Federico Ardila's axioms on diversity.
I try to implement them in my daily life as a mathematician, teacher, and mentor:
- Mathematical talent is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
- Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
- Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
- Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Where I will be
- June 22 - 26, 2026
I will be a speaker at the Metric Algebraic Geometry conference at Institut Mittag-Leffler, Sweden. - August 31st - September 4th, 2026
I am organizing the INABAG 2026: School and Conference: the 3rd major event of the INABAG Network. This year, the event will be held in Siena, Italy.

MultilinearVerse Project
Launched in February 2024, MultilinearVerse is a dynamical portal designed to unify the rapidly growing literature on tensors. It serves as a guide through more than one century of algebra, geometry and applied mathematics, providing the community with a resource to rapidly look up facts and track different relevant references.
This is an ambitious resource at an early stage, currently maintained by myself together with Fulvio Gesmundo (U. Toulouse) and Alessandro Iannone (JAKALA). We welcome contributions from the community to help populate and expand the database.
If you want to know more or join the project, please contact me.
INABAG Network
I am part of the Italian Network for Applied and Birational Algebraic Geometry, a group of geometers and algebraists based in Italy, whose common research interests lie within the theory of tensors from the perspective of commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and birational geometry, with a view towards applications.
Our research team cultivates a collaborative atmosphere by means of joint seminars, conferences and collective activities that foster the growth of its members. We have a long track record of joint publications and successful fundraising initiatives to support our activities and young researchers.
