Vincenzo Antonio Isoldi

I am a Ph.D. student at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, in the Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics group, supervised by Prof. Dr. Anna Wienhard.

My interests have always been quite broad, but they are held together by Geometry. I find topology and dynamics especially exciting, and I am fascinated by the interplay of analytic, differential, and algebraic techniques in answering geometric questions. Having just started my Ph.D., I am still shaping my identity as a mathematician, and I am currently learning about Anosov representations and (higher) Teichmüller theory. I am always happy to discuss these or related topics, so feel free to reach out through any of the links above.

Before starting my Ph.D., I was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences and at the Max Planck Institute of Cell Biology and Genetics, working with Prof. Türkü Özlüm Çelik and Prof. İrem Portakal on the dynamics of interacting species. This is another topic I am passionate about, and I am always happy to discuss and/or collaborate on it!

I received my M.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Trento, with a thesis on Schur apolarity and secant varieties of flag varieties, supervised by Prof. Alessandra Bernardi and Dr. Stefano Canino. I obtained my B.Sc. from the University of Milan, with a final seminar on plane algebraic curves and Plücker formulas.
