Vincenzo Antonio Isoldi

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

My research interests lie at the intersection of geometry, dynamics, and representation theory. My recent work has concerned homogeneous varieties and their secant varieties, tensor geometry, discrete differential geometry, and interactions between algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and game theory. During my PhD, I plan to focus on Riemann surfaces and their moduli, higher Teichmüller theory, and Anosov representations.

Before starting my PhD, I was a pre-doctoral fellow at MPI MiS and at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, working with İrem Portakal and Türkü Özlüm Çelik on the dynamics of interacting species. I received my M.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Trento, with a thesis on Schur apolarity and flag varieties supervised by Alessandra Bernardi and Stefano Canino, and my B.Sc. from the University of Milan.
