Short Bio
I completed my PhD at Imperial College London in September 2025. In the final stretch of the PhD, I was a visiting researcher at Copenhagen Business School (Summer 2025), and earlier at Berkeley Haas (Spring 2023), where I was sponsored by Ulrike Malmendier.
I started the PhD in September 2020, after an internship in the Monetary Policy Research Department of the European Central Bank. During the PhD, I was shortlisted as "particularly deserving" by the Bank of Italy's Mortara Scholarship, which led to a research internship in Rome (Summer 2021), and I have been part of the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) since 2021.
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Bologna with a B.A. in Business and Economics and an M.A. in Economics, spending time along the way at UC Berkeley (master's exchange) and at the University of Bologna's campus in Buenos Aires (undergraduate exchange).
Outside of research, I'm a passionate skier, hiker, runner (I ran the Rome Marathon 2026), boulderer, and modern art enthusiast.
