Welcome

Hi, my name is Lorenzo. I am a research assistant (assegnista) at the Dipartimento di Matematica of the Università degli Studi di Padova. I work under the supervision of Matteo Longo. Previously, I was a Ph.D. student of Payman Kassaei and Fred Diamond.

Broadly speaking, my main area of interest is arithmetic geometry. More specifically, I have so far focused on certain aspects of the (algebraic) geometry of special fibres of certain Shimura varieties, with a view towards applications to generalisations of Serre's modularity conjecture.

Notes

Sometimes I write down notes to convince myself that I've learnt something. I have a few, but I don't feel like sharing them at the moment. If there is something you need that you think I might have written down, just email me.

Talks

Here are some beamer presentations or notes for talks I gave.

Publications

My Ph.D. thesis can be found here.
