I am a quantitative economist, with research interests in spatial, regional and urban economics, innovation, productivity and misallocation.

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cagliari with the GRINS project. Previously I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow  at the Gran Sasso Science Institute.

I hold an Excellent Cum Laude Joint-PhD Candidate in Applied Economics  at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB, Spain) and in Urban Studies and Regional Sciences at Gran Sasso Science Institute  (GSSI, Italy).

My doctoral thesis, "Frictions and Proximities in Factors (Mis)Allocation across cities", is available online in open access, and was written under the supervision of Sandro Montresor and of Miquel-Angel Garcia-Lopez. The thesis was recently granted the 2° Dissertation Prize Giorgio Leonardi 2024.
