Short Biography

I was born in 1987 in Benevento, Italy.

I accomplished my studies at the University of Sannio, where I obtained a bachelor degree in Economics and Management with a thesis on interest rate spread, fiscal deficit and current account imbalances under the supervision of Prof. Emiliano Brancaccio, and a master degree in Economics and Governance (2015; summa cum laude). Thanks to my final dissertation I received the 'Guido Dorso' International Award, with the patronage of the Senate of the Republic, CNR - national research council - and University of Naples 'Federico II' as the best thesis of the year: “Austerity, supervision and bank restructuring in the European Union: the centralization of capital and risks of a European mezzogiornification”.

In 2015 I received a three years scholarship to attend the PhD program in Economics at the Marche Polytechnic University. During the 2017 spring term, I was PhD visiting scholar at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca to study network analysis under the supervision of Prof. Guido Caldarelli. After that, I spent the fall and spring terms (October 2017 - April 2018) as PhD visiting scholar at the University of Essex where I worked with Prof. Sheri M. Markose and members of the Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents.

In March 2019 I completed the PhD program (summa cum laude) defending a thesis on economic networks developed under the supervision of Prof. Mauro Gallegati and Prof. Alberto Russo.

After the PhD defense, I held a post-doctoral research fellowship at the Marche Polytechnic University, under the supervision of Prof. Luca Papi and Prof. Davide Ticchi.

In September 2021, I got a position as an assistant professor (untenured, rtd-A) at Marche Polytechnic University.

In October 2022, I got a tenured position (rtd-B) as an assistant professor at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio.

My research activity span across many topics such as the interplay between production, money and finance; global value chains and structural changes; growth, distribution, and economic divergence; the coherence between theory and empirical evidence.
