I am a graduate student in Mathematics at
University of Pisa. I like traveling, the mountains and riding my motorbike.

My field of interest is Algebraic Number Theory. In particular, I am interested
in the structure of the ideal class groups for cyclotomic fields, and the
K-theory of the rings of integers of an abelian number field.
Some interesting mathematical links:
