Profile
I am currently a lecturer at the University of Leeds. Before this, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Exeter in the UK, working on the EPSRC project "Hopf-Galois Theory and Skew Braces," led by Professor N. Byott.
Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in the ALGB group (Algebra, Incidence Geometry, Group and Semigroup Theory) under the direction of Professor E. Jespers.
I completed my PhD in 2017 at the University of Salento, supervised by Professor F. Catino. During my doctoral studies, I was a visiting PhD student at the University of Warsaw in the Algebra and Number Theory group headed by Professor J. Okniński.
My PhD thesis focused on the study of a novel algebraic structure known as the semi-brace and its connection to set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation.
Research interests
My research interest focuses on studying algebraic structures associated with discrete versions of some equations in mathematical physics, such as the Yang-Baxter equation and the Pentagon equation.
