About me

I am a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds. My research is in non-commutative algebra, with connections to group theory and mathematical physics, especially around algebraic structures related to the Yang–Baxter and Pentagon equations.

I completed my PhD in Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Salento (Italy) in 2017, under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Catino. Before joining Leeds, I held postdoctoral positions in the UK, Belgium, and Italy.
