My esearch interests are mainly concentrated on the following topics:

• Commutative Algebra, homotopical algebra
• Exterior differential systems and applications of (graded commutative) algebra to the study of smooth manifolds
• Interactions of theoretical physics and geometry, especially in the area of physical dualities (like Mirror Symmetry)

I include here my report for confirmation ("relazione per la conferma in ruolo") which describes my activity during the period february 2000 - february 2003, and is necessary to become a full researcher ("ricercatore confermato").
