About me

Here is a short excerpt from my CV:
My full resume can be found here.

In November 2025, I began my PhD in Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Salerno under the supervision of Luca Vitagliano.
My research interests include, but are not limited to, G-structures, Lie groupoids, differentiable stacks, and relations to Riemannian, symplectic and Poisson geometry.
Additionally, I am interested in applications of differential geometric structures in mathematical physics.
