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.

I am currently on the Job Market seeking academic and research positions. You can download my Job Market Paper and CV here.

Meanwhile, I am working on the rollout of the MinUTo App¹ in support of mindful parenting, in continuity with the online interviews I conducted for the MinUTo Project. At the same time, I am temporarily serving as a Research Assistant at the University of Naples Federico II on the project “Organized crime, political connections and firms’ performance”, conducting an analysis of open-ended responses collected from participants with the goal of identifying and categorizing emerging motivations and distinguishing between respondent profiles using text analysis techniques.

Moreover, I serve as a Teaching Assistant for Industrial Economics, Econometrics, Political Economy, and Python for Economists at the University of Bologna.

Finally, 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.
