Hi! I am a third-year PhD student in Economics at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, supervised by Prof. Stefano Colombo. My research interests are in industrial organization. I am currently a visiting PhD student at the Toulouse School of Economics from January to June 2026, hosted by Prof. Andrew Rhodes. Previously, I was a visiting PhD student at the University of Minho from September to November 2025, hosted by Prof. Rosa-Branca Esteves.
