Mattia Galeotti

I am a post-doc (Ricercatore di Tipo A) in Mathematics at Università di Bologna
My institutional website at UniBo
I obtained my PhD at IMJ, UPMC, Paris

Email: galeotti(dot)mattia(dot)work(at)gmail(dot)com
Address: Dipartimento di Matematica, Piazza di Porta San Donato 5 - 40126 Bologna
My office is at the I level (5th floor, on the north side of the building)

My research topics are Differential Geometry (Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds, Synthetic Differential Geometry), contact structures, jet bundles, models of the Visual Cortex, PDEs on cortical models, deformation theory, topos theory
