Biography

In 2024, I obtained my Master's degree from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Turin, defending the thesis Singularities of the Ricci flow. Specifically, my work focused on the detailed analysis of two papers (by Angenent-Knopf and Gu-Zhu), aimed at proving the existence of two classes of rotationally symmetric metrics on the sphere that, evolving under the Ricci flow, lead to the development of neckpinch and degenerate neckpinch singularities.
After graduation, I spent a year working as a substitute Mathematics and Physics teacher in high school. Then, in November 2025, I started my Ph.D. at the Politecnico di Torino with a scholarship in Geometric Analysis.
