Francesca's CV.

As an IATL fellow

As a fellow in IATL Francesca worked on a project concerning the research-teaching nexus. In particular, she investigated examples of research-led teaching at Warwick, across different departments.

She also organised the workshop "A New World... Out of Nothing", held in November 2016 at Warwick.

In Mathematics

Francesca's mathematical research is in Geometric Topology. At the point of leaving IATL, she was working on questions concerning the study of surface mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups, and was a member of the EPSRC Early Career Forum in Mathematical Sciences.
