Who am I?
Currently, I am a Master student at University of Pisa. I am working under the supervision of prof. Michele D'Adderio to study a combinatorial structure called "Sandpile" and some results related to symmetric functions.
Before that, I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree at the University of Pisa in 2023, presenting a thesis (with supervisor prof. Michele D'Adderio) on poset topology and group representation theory, working in particular with the notion of EL-shellability.

My research interests
Since my second year as Undergraduate, I have been interested in combinatorics: it all started with a course on group representation theory which introduced me to symmetric functions and Young tableaux.
I really liked the combinatorial approach of associating simpler (and manageable by hand) structures to complex mathematical objects. Still today this approach is at the center of my research interests: making interesting things more intuitive!
Going into more details, some topics that got my attention are:
-
Algebraic enumerative combinatorics
Symmetric functions, Young tableaux, matroids, $q,t$-combinatorics and sandpiles. -
Geometric combinatorics
Polyhedral combinatorics, mixed volumes. - Representation theory
