Tommaso Pacini
Note: this page was last updated in Spring 2009.
From October 2007 to September 2009 I will be a Marie Curie Fellow at Oxford University, working with Prof. Dominic Joyce.
In October 2009 I will move on to a permanent position as "ricercatore" at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa: please look for my new contact info on the SNS website.
Previously I have been a Research Affiliate at Imperial College (2006-2007) and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology (2003-2006).
My full CV is available here.
