About me
I am a first year PhD student at Heriot-Watt University, under the supervision of Alessandro Sisto. Previously, I was awarded a Studentship at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, and I completed a Master's degree at the University of Pisa.
Here you can find my CV in English and in Italian.
Research
I work in Geometric Group Theory, and I especially study Hierarchically Hyperbolic Spaces, which are those spaces sharing the same "hyperbolic features" as Mapping Class Groups of surfaces (for an overview on HHS see, e.g., this survey by my supervisor).
Papers and preprints:
- Rigidity Results for Large Displacement Quotients of Mapping Class Groups, preprint, 2023.
- with Mark Hagen and Alessandro Sisto: A Combinatorial Structure for Many Hierarchically Hyperbolic Spaces, preprint, 2023.
- with Alessandro Sisto: Rigidity of Mapping Class Groups mod Powers of Twists, preprint, 2022. An expanded version, which is also my Master's thesis, can be found here.
Recent invited talks:
- MAXIMALS, on the rigidity properties of (some quotients of) mapping class groups (24/01/2024)
- GLAMS Example showcase, on the centre of the MCG of a five-holed sphere (01/12/2023)
- "Baby Geometri" seminar, about my Master's thesis (06/06/2022)
