Short presentation
I work at the interface of quantum field theory, string theory and mathematics. A central theme for my research is to develop new tools for understanding non-perturbative systems. I am the principal investigator of an ERC starting grant on the memory of solitons, and the deputy director of the Simons Collaboration on Global Categorical Symmetries.
Keywords: quantum field theory string theory supersymmetry conformal symmetry categorical global symmetries
I have received my PhD in 2013 from SISSA (Trieste, IT), followed by an appointment as a research fellow at Harvard University (2013-2016), and then as a research assistant professor at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics in Stony Brook, NY (2016-2018). Before joining the faculty at Uppsala University, I have been a lecturer at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Durham University, UK (2018-2020).
Links to all my works can be found on googlescholar or inSPIREs.
