About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC-funded project “MODEL TRANSFER" at Leibniz University Hannover. I have research interest in the history and philosophy of economics, general philosophy of science, and competition economics. I am currently working on three main projects: the transfer of game-theoretic models across economics, political science, and biology; the history and philosophy of competition economics and antitrust law; and model-based notions of scientific progress in economics.
Before joining LUH, I studied philosophy and economics at the Scuola Normale Superiore, the University of Pisa, and the University of Siena. I was a visiting scholar at the TINT Centre for Philosophy of Social Science at the University of Helsinki and the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. During my doctoral research, I studied the application of economic theory in legal proceedings, employing tools from philosophy of economics, philosophy of science, and empirical analysis.
