Pierpaola Santarsiero
September 2, 2022
My name is Pierpaola Santarsiero and I joined the Nonlinear Algebra group at the MPI MiS as a postdoctoral researcher in March 2022. I recently finished my PhD at the University of Trento, Italy, under the supervision of Alessandra Bernardi.
My research interests are in multilinear algebra and algebraic geometry. During my PhD I worked on the identifiability problem for tensors and I looked at tensors from the geometric perspective given by secant varieties of Segre varieties and 0-dimensional schemes. At the moment I'm exploring different perspectives on tensors as well as learning new exciting math.
In my free time here in Leipzig I desperately try to avoid cucumbers, but even though Gurke is my enemy I still can stand it in a very well prepared gin tonic.
