Welcome to my website!

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Sorbonne Economics Center (Paris-1 Panthéon Sorbonne University), working under the supervision of Clément Bosquet.

My research projects explore the economic, political and cultural impacts of new technologies in historical settings. Specifically, I assess the underlying consequences of new technologies on human capital, social mobility and cultural changes in various contexts. In doing so, I rely on original and newly collected data to measure time-varying exposure to technologies at granular levels.

My job-market paper investigates the effects of mass media exposure on cultural and linguistic convergence.

In fall of 2024, I visited Bologna University, sponsored by Giovanni Prarolo.
