Short Bio:

Starting January 1st 2013 I am a Postdoctoral Research Assistant Professor at the Mathematics Department of University of Utah (Salt Lake City (UT), USA). My position will last till June 30th 2015.

Before that I was a Marie Curie Fellow at Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland. This fellowship was awarded by "The ERCIM Alain Bensoussan Fellowship Programme" and it is supported by the Marie Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND) of the European Commission.

On February 2012 I completed the Ph.D degree in Mathematics at Università degli studi Roma TRE with a thesis entitled Syzygies, Pluricanonical Maps and the Birational Geometry of Irregular Varieties, written under the supervision of Prof. G. Pareschi (Università degli studi di Roma "Tor Vergata").

Before entering in the Ph. D program of Università degli studi Roma TRE I was a student at University of Bologna where I completed both BD in Mathematics (2006) and MD in Mathematics (2008).


Research interests:

My primary fields of interest are Algebraic Geometry and Homological Algebra.

My research is focused on the study of the birational geometry of irregular varieties through the extensive use of the Fourier--Mukai transform. More precisely, right now I am attempting to classify all the (smooth projective) varieties of maximal Albanese dimension, with Euler characteristic equal to 1 and whose Albanese image is not fibered by subtori.


Upcoming conferences and short visits:

  • From May 16th to May 19th. Robfest (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
  • From May 20th to June 16th. I will be visiting Univeristy of Illinois in Chicago.
