Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Bocconi University, where I work with Alessandro Pigati as part of the ERC project MAGNETIC.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich, working with Joaquim Serra within the ERC project StableIF, and a Ph.D. student at the University of Bath under the supervision of Manuel del Pino.

My research lies at the intersection of geometric analysis and variational PDEs. I am particularly interested in minimal submanifolds—especially in higher codimension—and in geometric problems arising from gauge theory and phase transitions, including the abelian Higgs, Ginzburg–Landau, and Allen–Cahn models. I also study harmonic maps and nonlocal geometric problems, as well as the construction of solutions to nonlinear PDEs using gluing techniques.
