I am an Assistant Professor (RTD-B) of  Political Economy in the Department for Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition (DiSSTE) at the University of Piemonte Orientale (UPO) in Vercelli, Italy. 

In addition, I work as a research associate at the Economic and Social Research Institute of Piedmont (IRES Piemonte) in Turin, as well as at LSA-Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan. I am co-founder and a member of the editorial committee of the blog Studi Randomizzati. 

My research primarily focuses on counterfactual impact evaluation, public policy analysis, labor and social policies, and innovation policies.  

I served as the Principal Investigator for the project "New perspectives on the nuclear issue in Italy" (NECESSITY) (2023-2026), funded by the UPO's "Bando Ricerca". I am member of the research team of the Horizon Europe–funded project PREPSHIELD (2024-2027).
