Manuel Francesco Aprile

Since late December 2022, I am an assistant professor (RTD-B) at University of Padua.

Brief CV: I obtained my bachelor in mathematics in 2013 from University of Catania, Italy, with a thesis on algorithms to construct magic squares. I was supervised by Giuseppe Nicosia.

I then moved to Oxford, UK to obtain my master's degree in mathematics and the foundation of computer science in 2014. My master's thesis was about applying constructive versions of Lovasz Local Lemma to non-repetitive graph coloring, and was supervised by Colin McDiarmid.

I undertook my PhD studies within the DISOPT group at EPFL, Switzerland, and I obtained the PhD title in 2018. My PhD thesis (which you can read here) summarises my work on 2-level polytopes, in particular with respect to their combinatorial structure and extension complexity, and was supervised by Friedrich Eisenbrand and Yuri Faenza.

From January 2019 to August 2020, I have been a post-doc in the group of Samuel Fiorini at ULB, Belgium. From September 2020 to August 2022, I have been a Post-doctoral researcher at University of Padua, with Marco di Summa. I briefly worked in Brussels and at University of l'Aquila before going back to Padua.

I recently won the Lorenzo Brunetta award for my PhD thesis.
