I am an assistant professor and postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Law and Political, Economic and Social Sciences at the University of Eastern Piedmont, Italy. My research focuses on public economics, health economics, welfare economics, finance, statistics and mathematics for economics. Currently, I am working on two research projects based on the 'health and financial well-being of the elderly in Italy'. I am studying the potential impact of financial literacy on household portfolio allocation in Italy. I am also investigating the impact of health shocks on portfolio choice in Italy. I was an Assistant Professor of Public Economics (CFU:9) at the undergraduate level at the Faculty of Economics - Marche Polytechnic University, Italy. I have also worked at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in Seville, Spain.
