I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute and a Research Fellow at the Hoffmann Centre for Global Sustainability.

In my research, I build novel and granular datasets and use time series econometrics to answer questions at the intersection between empirical macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and environmental economics. I also work on topics related to geopolitical fragmentation and sovereign debt. You can find my job market paper here. 

I have held research positions at IGIER, the European Investment Bank, and the Bank of England.

You can find my CV here.

Research is fun, but I also enjoy cinema, skiing, travelling and AC Milan. 

I am on the 2025/26 Job Market!
