I am a postdoc in the department of Manthematics "Giuseppe Peano" of the university of Torino, working for the ERC project GENERATE supervized by Andrea Seppi . I did my PhD in the university of Heidelberg, under the supervision of Beatrice Pozzetti .

Research interests: Hitchin and maximal representations of surface groups, Anosov representations, symmetric spaces of non-compact type, domains of discontinuity in flag manifolds.

Here you can find my CV.
