About

I am a Mathematics Lecturer at Bocconi University and Assistant Director of the BSc in Mathematical and Computing Sciences for Artificial Intelligence. My work lies at the intersection of mathematical analysis, teaching innovation, and digital learning design. I have extensive experience teaching undergraduate, graduate, and PhD-level courses at Bocconi University, Politecnico di Milano, and the University of Milan. I design and implement large-scale educational initiatives, including: – MathFlex, an asynchronous graduate-level mathematics course adopted across multiple MSc programmes – Digital Proximity, an award-winning blended learning model for theoretical mathematics – MATITA, a university-level mathematics learning application developed and maintained over a decade My academic background is in Mathematical Analysis (PhD, University of Milan), with research in nonlinear PDEs and dynamical systems. I am also interested in communication and pedagogy, with experience in theatre and in delivering yoga sessions. I am always interested in collaborations related to mathematics education, teaching innovation, and digital learning.
