Alfonso Giuseppe Tortorella

Alfonso Giuseppe Tortorella is a tenure-track Assistant Professor (Ricercatore a tempo determinato di tipo B) at the Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Salerno. His academic journey includes postdoctoral research at institutions such as KU Leuven (2018–2021) and CMUC/CMUP in Portugal. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Florence (2017), focusing on deformation theory of coisotropic submanifolds in Jacobi manifolds.

Research Interests: Poisson geometry in its broad sense, including deformation theory, Jacobi manifolds, VB-groupoids, and multiplicative structures on Lie groupoids. Recent work explores symplectic foliations and L∞ algebras in geometric contexts.

Publications: Over 15 peer-reviewed articles, with recent contributions on symplectic foliations, Dirac-Jacobi structures, and homogeneous G-structures. His work often combines geometric analysis with algebraic structures like L∞ algebras.

• Awards: Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale (2021–2030), FWO Postdoctoral Fellowship, INdAM PhD Scholarship.
• Teaching: Courses in Differential Geometry and Advanced Mathematics at University of Salerno and KU Leuven.
• Advising: Supervised PhD/MSc/BSc students in geometric topics, including contact geometry and Jacobi manifolds.

Labs/Teams: Active member of the Geometric properties of real and complex manifolds group at Università di Firenze, and collaborates with international researchers in Poisson and contact geometry.
