Research in Number Theory

Chi cerca trova, chi ricerca ritrova (Ennio De Giorgi).

I work in the areas of Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry because I study algebraic groups defined over number fields.
The aim of my research is twofold: firstly, understanding how the properties of algebraic groups and their points can be (algorithmically) detected from their reductions; secondly, making progress in Kummer theory.
