Matteo Parisi

Matteo Parisi is a Lecturer at Harvard University's Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (CMSA) within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the intersection of theoretical physics, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics, particularly the study of amplituhedrons, cluster algebras, and scattering amplitudes. He explores geometric and algebraic structures underlying quantum field theories and string theory, with contributions to understanding positive geometries, twistor string theory, and Yangian symmetry.

His work combines advanced mathematical frameworks with computational methods, addressing topics like BCFW recursion, cluster adjacency conjectures, and the combinatorial properties of amplituhedron tilings. Notable research includes studies on the m=2 amplituhedron's relationship with hypersimplices, Eulerian number patterns in amplituhedron topology, and the application of Hochschild polytopes to algebraic combinatorics.

While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his extensive publication record reflects recognition in high-impact theoretical physics and mathematics journals. Matteo's research also bridges discrete mathematics and physics through explorations of Smirnov words, toric varieties, and tropical Grassmannians. His articles consistently advance understanding of scattering amplitude structures through geometric and algebraic lenses.
