Francesco Pavese

Francesco Pavese is an Associate Professor of Geometry at the Department of Mechanics, Mathematics & Management, Politecnico di Bari, Italy. His research primarily focuses on finite geometry, combinatorial structures, and their applications to coding theory.

His research interests include:

• Finite projective and polar spaces
• Strongly regular graphs and geometric constructions
• Blocking sets and special configurations in finite geometries
• Subspace codes and network coding applications
• Combinatorial designs and q-analogs
• Arcs, ovoids, and m-ovoids in projective spaces

Professor Pavese's recent work demonstrates a consistent focus on the interplay between geometric structures and combinatorial properties in finite settings. His research often explores connections between classical geometric objects and their applications in coding theory, with particular attention to structures in projective spaces over finite fields. His publications reveal expertise in Cameron-Liebler line classes, intriguing sets of strongly regular graphs, and the geometry of Hermitian varieties.

His scholarly output shows significant contributions to geometric combinatorics, with recent work exploring q-analogs of design structures, properties of special sets in projective spaces, and connections between geometric objects and strongly regular graphs. The trend in his research indicates growing interest in modular properties of geometric structures and their applications to coding theory.

Professor Pavese maintains an active research program with numerous publications appearing in leading mathematics journals specializing in finite geometry and combinatorial mathematics.
