I got my PhD at at FAU DCN-AvH, the Chair for Dynamics, Control, Machine Learning and Numerics – Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Bavaria (Germany).
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Università di Pisa. Previously I have been a postdoc at the “Chaire d’Analyse Mathématique, Calcul des Variations et Équations aux Dérivées Partielles” led by Maria Colombo at EPFL, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
My main research interests lie in the analysis and control of partial differential equations. More specifically, I’ve been working on the following topics: conservation laws; transport with rough velocity fields; flows on networks; local and nonlocal (degenerate higher-order) parabolic PDEs; free boundary problems; variational and topological methods for the study of nonlinear problems.
