Welcome to my personal website—glad to have you here intentionally (or at least I hope so!).

I am a 5th-year Ph.D. Student in Economics and a Research Fellow—equivalent to a Post-Doc position in Italy—at the University of Bologna.

My Research Interests include Political Economy, Economy of Crime, Experimental Economics, and Behavioral Economics, both theoretically and empirically.

Currently, I am focusing on:

  • Self-Selection and Corruption
  • Local Crime News and Voting Behavior
  • Effects of Erasmus Programs on Voting

In addition to my Research Activities, I am Teaching Assistant for the following courses: Introduction to Behavioral Economics, Game Theory, Political Economy, and Microeconomics.

I am also the organizer of the DSE Afterwork Drinks, a monthly informal meeting where Faculty, Research Fellows, and Ph.D. Students can meet to discuss various topics while enjoying a beverage.

Last but not least, my favorite quote is “No, I’m not obsessive-compulsive. I just like to wash my hands.”
