Overview

In 2016 I obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematical Analysis at SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, where I also attended the Master in Complex Actions. Previously I did my Bachelor's and Master's studies in Mathematics at the University of Udine, where I was also a student of the Scuola Superiore of the University. After the Ph.D. I was a postdoc first at the CMAF–CIO of the University of Lisbon, then at the I.N.d.A.M. unit of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Padova with a Mathtech–CNR–INdAM fellowship, and finally at the Institute of Information Theory and Automation of the Czech Academy of Sciences, where I became a researcher in 2020 and the recipient of a GAČR Junior Star project in 2021.
In 2022 I joined the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Udine, where I am currently an Associate Professor in Mathematical Physics.

My research activity revolves around the idea of evolution in time of a system, crossing transversally abstract frameworks (e.g. dynamical systems, periodic solutions of ODEs, rate-independent systems), methods (e.g. topological methods, critical point theory, calculus of variations, optimal control) and applications (e.g. Hamiltonian systems, crawling motility, ecological systems).
