Gianluca Basso
I'm a postdoc at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (link) working on problems in topological dynamics, topology and logic. I am a member of the ANR Project AGRUME (link). I obtained my PhD in 2020 from Université de Lausanne and Università degli Studi di Torino under the supervision of Prof. Jacques Duparc and Prof. Riccardo Camerlo. Here are my thesis (PDF) and its abstract (link).
