I completed my PhD in Economics at IMT Lucca in July 2013. During my PhD, I was a visiting researcher at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies in London, while also working as research assistant at the London School of Economics (October 2010 to June 2011). From September 2012 to April 2013, I was visiting lecturer at Ural Federal University in Yekaterinburg. During my PhD, I wrote a blog about travel and fieldwork in the countries I studied. 

Before my PhD studies, I completed an MSc in Development Economics at SOAS (University of London), and an MA in Development Studies at Sciences Po Paris.
