Alessandro is an assistant professor in mathematics at the University of Michigan. After completing his international undergraduate studies with curricula at the University of Milan, at the Mathematical Institute in Leiden, and at the University of Duisburg-Essen, in 2023 he earned his Ph.D. in applied algebraic geometry from the University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The focus of his research is to develop infinite-dimensional methods to deal with highly symmetric systems of polynomial equations. This research area has applications in theoretical computer science, chemistry and neural networks, to name but a few. Prior to his mathematical career, Alessandro graduated in 2013 in clarinet performance at the Conservatory of Music G. Verdi in Milan, and has kept playing and studying music besides his academical career. From 2017 to 2023 he has been first clarinet for CREA Orkest and Het Orkest Amsterdam and he has been playing in many chamber music ensembles in the amateur music scene in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
