“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”

Welcome to my personal website—glad you made it here of your own free will (or maybe you clicked by mistake; it happens to the best of us).

My research focuses on Political Economy, Crime Economics, Experimental and Behavioral Economics, with a particular interest in how institutions and individual behavior interact in real-world settings. More broadly, I am drawn to questions that sit at the intersection of economics and social behavior, wherever the data and the methods can speak to them.

Having obtained my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Bologna in 2026, I am currently Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Cagliari, where I am working on the interactions between remote work, artificial intelligence, and local labor markets. You can find more about my work in my CV.

Meanwhile, I teach Microeconomics, Introduction to Economics of the EU, and Python for Economists, and I serve as a Teaching Assistant for Political Economy at the Department of Economics, the Department of Management, and the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Bologna. In addition, I have contributed to the rollout of the MinUTo App¹ in support of mindful parenting, within the MinUTo Project, as part of which I have conducted online interviews.

Lastly, I organize the DSE Afterwork Drinks, a monthly informal gathering where we talk about research, academic life, and everything in between—from careers and conferences to films, music, and everyday worries—with the aim of fostering a relaxed and supportive departmental community.
