About me
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at ETH Zürich and a 2024–2025 von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Before joining ETH I held faculty positions at Durham University and a research fellowship in Cambridge. I completed my undergraduate studies at Sapienza University of Rome and obtained a joint PhD in Mathematics from Sapienza and École Polytechnique in Paris.
My work lies at the interface of analysis, kinetic theory and statistical mechanics: I study partial differential equations that model the collective behaviour of many-particle systems, with a focus on Vlasov-type plasmas and gravitational dynamics. Current projects range from quasineutral and singular-limit problems for Vlasov–type systems to quantization of measures, ultrafast diffusion, and gradient-flow structures that link microscopic particle models to macroscopic fluid descriptions.
