I am a Research Economist in the European Relations Division at the Banque de France.

I hold a PhD in Economics from Trinity College Dublin (2025), where I was supervised by Agustín Bénétrix and Davide Romelli. My PhD research explored the interplay between international macroeconomic dynamics and inequality in wealth and income. A brief summary of some of my PhD work can be found here.

My research interests lie in Macroeconomics and Financial Economics, spanning a broad range of topics such as European economic policy, international macroeconomics, inequality and income distribution, monetary economics, and household finance.

You can learn more about my research here and find my CV here.

Previously, I've held positions at the European Central Bank (2019-20), where I worked in the International Policy Analysis division, at the Central Bank of Ireland as a PhD Trainee (2022-23) and Research Affiliate (2023-25) in the Irish Economic Analysis division, and at University College Dublin as a Teaching Fellow (2024-25). I hold a MSc in Economics from Heidelberg University (2019) and a BSc in Economics & Business from the University of Milano-Bicocca (2016).

This is my personal website, designed to make my research easily accessible. The views expressed here and in the linked documents are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Banque de France, the European System of Central Banks, or any of my previous affiliations.
