Research interests

My scientific interests stay at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and philosophy.

Currently, I am assistant professor (RTDa) in theoretical computer science, working within the 2022CY2J5S NextGenerationEU project “Securing softWare frOm first PrincipleS” (SERICS-SWOPS), led by Gabriele Costa.

My primary conceptual toolbox is based on structural proof theory and non-classical logics.

Over the years, I have worked on (classical and intuitionistic) modal logics, sequent calculi, natural deduction systems, functional programming languages and type systems, computerised mathematics, formal software verification.

I am also interested in mathematics in its broader cultural context, including the links between mathematics, literature and music.

More info

My previous post-doc position at IMT Lucca was funded by the PRIN 2017FTXR7S Project IT-Matters, and I worked on formal methods for decentralised and self-organising systems under the supervision of Rocco De Nicola.

Before that, in 2022, I worked on mathematical modal logics and software verification at the University of Barcelona, supervised by Joost J. Joosten and supported by an "academic+industrial" grant.

On July 12, 2022, I successfully defended my PhD thesis at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genoa

In 2018, I obtained a MA degree in Logic, Philosophy and History of Science from the University of Florence, with a dissertation on category theory in univalent type theory advised by Marco Maggesi. Previously, I graduated in philosophy from the same university, with a thesis on provability and interpretability logics, advised by Pierluigi Minari.

I have occasionally worked as a gardener and woodcutter.

“Se si escludono istanti prodigiosi e singoli che il destino ci può donare, l'amare il proprio lavoro (che purtroppo è privilegio di pochi) costituisce la migliore approssimazione concreta alla felicità sulla terra: ma questa è una verità che non molti conoscono.”

Primo Levi, La chiave a stella, 1978
