**Davide Lombardo is a number theorist based at the University of Pisa, Italy. He studied at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Italy) and the Université Paris-Saclay (France), and obtained his PhD from the latter in 2016. After a short post-doctoral position in Hannover (Germany), he joined the Department of Mathematics in Pisa in 2017, first as a researcher and then - since 2022 - as an associate professor. His work focuses mainly on the geometric and arithmetic interplay between Galois representations and abelian varieties. L-functions are a fundamental tool in this area, providing a bridge between arithmetic and analytic objects.
