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

Douglas Adams — The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

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.

Currently, I am a 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.


1 The MinUTo App is currently available in three languages: Italian, English, and French.
