Biography

I came to the US in Fall 2006, as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Notre Dame. Before then, I was a Ph.D. student at Queen's University, Canada, a postdoc at the University of Genova, Italy, and the Gustafsson postdoc at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. I joined the Michigan Tech faculty in Fall 2007, as an Associate Professor with tenure since Fall 2011. I just spent calendar year 2011 at MIT as a Visiting Professor, hosted by Richard Stanley.

In both Spring and Fall 2011, I taught MIT's 18.304, the seminar course in Discrete Mathematics for math majors. For my lucky list of research students at MIT and Michigan Tech, please see my CV.

Nearly all of my preprints are available on the arXiv.

I am an Editor of the new journal Journal for Algebra and Number Theory Academia (JANTA). We invite the submission of good papers in all areas of, or having applications to, Algebra and Number Theory.

I have been giving a large number of interviews to Italian newspapers over the last several years, both about myself and my professional activities and, nearly as entertaining, the education of gifted children/young adults. Some interviews are also available online, including the following published by Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica (the two main Italian newspapers) and Alice & Bob (a journal of Bocconi University, one of the leading European Business Schools). Since 2011, I am a member of the Scientific Committee of AISTAP (Italian Association for the Development of Talent and High Ability).

Speaking of gifted people, this is the Putnam result of my exceptional former research student Jizhou, obtained in 2009 at Michigan Tech, and this is the medal that my equally exceptional MIT research student Colin received as a 2010 Putnam Fellow.

The (so far) 12 watches of my personal collection, that I started in 2005, are, in decreasing order of cuteness: watch #1(NEWER!!!!), watch #2(NEW!!!), watch #3, watch #4, watch #5, watch #6, watch #7, watch #8, watch #9, watch #10, watch #11, and watch #12 (most photographs are courtesy of Juan Migliore).
