Ilaria Colazzo

Lecturer in Pure Mathematics, University of Leeds

I am Ilaria Colazzo, Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds.

My research is in non-commutative algebra, with connections to group theory and mathematical physics. I am particularly interested in:

• the Yang–Baxter equation
• the Pentagon equation
• skew braces, trusses, and related algebraic structures
• regular subgroups of the holomorph

I also computer algebra systems such as GAP to study these questions from a computational viewpoint.
