About

I recently defended my PhD thesis (awaiting revision and publication) titled "Duals of higher vector bundles and cotangents of Lie 2-groupoids" at the University of Göttingen and I am going to be a postdoc researcher at the Mathematical Institute of the university starting in October.

Earlier this year I was a Junior Fellow at the Mittag-Leffler Institute in Djursholm, Sweden for the program Cohomological Aspects of Quantum Field Theory.

Previously I did my master's at the University of Bonn, and my bachelor's at the University of Milano-Bicocca.

Research Interests

My main research interests lie at the intersection of differential geometry, higher structures and mathematical physics. I like to employ simplicial and homological methods to study structures in geometry and physics, such as (higher) Lie groupoids and representations, (higher) Lie and Courant algebroids, (shifted) symplectic and Poisson structures, field theories and TQFTs. For example, as part of my PhD thesis I use simplicial methods to study cotangent objects of Lie 2-groupoids and their shifted symplectic structures.
