Over his career, Ugaglia has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, with recent work examining the effective cone of blow-ups, intrinsic negative curves, and Cox rings of generic fibers. His research spans foundational aspects of algebraic structures and their geometric implications, particularly in higher-dimensional varieties and defective secant varieties.

Ugaglia’s academic contributions are reflected in his teaching of advanced geometry courses at the University of Palermo, including Geometry 1, Geometry 3, and specialized modules on affine/Euclidean and algebraic geometry. His office hours are held in Studio 104, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, via Archirafi 34.
