My name is Cesare Giulio Ardito. I am a mathematician, currently working as a Lecturer (T&S) at the University of Manchester.
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at City University of London, supported by an Early Career Fellowship awarded by the London Mathematical Society.
I obtained my PhD at the University of Manchester in July 2020. I am originally from Rome, Italy, which is also where I got my Master’s and Bachelor’s Degree at Sapienza University of Rome.
In 2023, I was awarded Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and I became a member (MIMA) of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
I am involved in many other things, but those can be found on my personal website.

I will be away in Week 12 (12th-15th December) so no office hour will take place.
My research interests in higher education and pedagogy mostly involve the impact of generative AI on the current framework, with a focus on students perspective.
My research interests in mathematics lie in finite group theory, in particular modular representation theory and global-local conjectures. I work on a variety of topics such as blocks of finite group algebras and their equivalences and invariants, fusion systems and Picard groups of blocks.

If you need to submit any kind of assignment, you can (and should) use a scanner or scanning app to scan your paper. Install it on your smartphone, open it and
take pictures of the assignment There are several options, among which I suggest Adobe Scan and CamScanner (available on any major app store). You do not need to pay for the pro version: watermarks are fine.
This will make your work look professional, ensure that we can read it and mark it appropriately... and it requires very minimal effort. Learn this skill now, and use it forever!
If you are having trouble, watch this tutorial on how to use Adobe Scan.
Year 1: You can find the presentation from the first group session here: Year 1 Academic Advisor
Year 2, Year 3: You can find the presentation from the first group session here: Year 2, Year 3 Academic Advisor
I strongly recommend you run your CV through CareerSet.
If you are one of my advisees, remember that you can (and should!) ask for a meeting or send me an email to ask for advice at any time. You do not have to wait for one of the mandatory meetings to raise an issue.
If we have interacted in the past and you want me to write a reference letter for you, please email me at cesaregiulio.ardito@manchester.ac.uk . Make sure to include any of these items, when relevant:
- Anything that you'd like me to mention.
- An exhaustive description of the reason the letter is needed (e.g. job position), or a link to one.
- Any guidelines provided by the recipients.
- Your up-to-date CV (as an attachment).
- Your cover letter (when available).
- The due date and means of submission.
About due dates: it is, of course, best to send your letter request as soon as you can, but do not be discouraged if the deadline is really close. We have all been there! I can, sometimes, produce letters in less than 24 hours... now, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to meet short deadlines, but if the alternative would be not applying then please try to email me (and perhaps add "URGENT" to the email subject line).

This is an automated CV checker, free to use for Manchester students and graduates, which scans your CV. Most companies nowadays use software (or generative AI) to screen applicants, so a badly formatted CV risks never being seen by a human. I strongly suggest to run yours through this tool, and see what it picks up (and what it does not pick up!).
