↝ Teaching
From February until August 2025 I am on sabbatical !
↝ Research
My research interests are in birational geometry, especially
- Fano varieties and fibrations;
- Mori fibre spaces and minimal model program;
- rationally simply connected varieties;
- surfaces in positive characteristic;
- algebraic subgroups of the Cremona group.
During the academic year 2018/19 I was a FMJH post-doc in algebraic geometry at the
Laboratoire de Mathématiques de Versailles,
Université Paris Saclay,
funded by the
Programme Sophie Germain.
I was a member of the Algebra and Geometry
team and my supervisor there was
Nicolas Perrin.
In the period Sep 2016 - Aug 2018 I was a postdoc at the
Mathematisches Institut,
HHU Düsseldorf,
where I was a member of the Algebra and Number Theory
research group.
My supervisor there was
Benjamin Klopsch.
During the academic year 2015/16 I was a postdoc at the
Mathematisches Institut,
Universität Basel,
where I was a member of the Algebra and Geometry
research group.
My supervisor there was
Jérémy Blanc.
I obtained my PhD at the
Department of mathematics,
Imperial College London.
I was a member of to the Geometry group and my supervisor was Paolo Cascini.
During the last months of my PhD, I visited IMPA for the Thematic Program on Algebraic Geometry.
