Irene Spelta

Hello, I'm Irene Spelta

I am an Einstein Independent Researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, funded by the Einstein Foundation Berlin .

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Bruno Klingler at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona and at the Università di Pavia. I obtained my PhD in December 2020 under the supervision of Paola Frediani.
