Veronica Pasquarella

个人简介

Veronica is a postdoctoral researcher at SIMIS. Her research develops along two main lines: on the one side, homological mirror symmetry and its application to string theory and Calabi-Yau categories through the lens of enumerative geometry; on the other, she is interested in furthering the understanding of 3-manifolds, specifically the classification of Fuchsian manifolds through geometric analysis, and possible insights they might bring, in turn, to algebraic geometry settings.

In the academic year 2024/2025, she taught a course on homological mirror symmetry at SIMIS, split between two semesters. In Fall 2025, she will be teaching an introductory course on Fundamental Interactions, aimed at guiding first-year undergraduates from the fundamental laws of nature to the motivations for introducing Calabi-Yau manifolds and string theory.

She completed her PhD in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2024. Prior to that, she earned a Master of Advanced Studies in the Mathematics Department in Cambridge in 2020. She also completed a Master in Theoretical Physics (in 2019) and a Bachelor in Physics (in 2016) at the University of Trieste, in Italy.
