I am a final-year DPhil candidate in Migration Studies at the University of Oxford and a ESRC Scholar with an Advanced Quantitative Methods award. My research lies at the intersection of development economics, public policy, and migration, with a focus on experimental and quasi-experimental methods.

My doctoral project investigates humanitarian aid reductions and informal credit systems in refugee camps, analysing how these dynamics shape both household strategies and local markets. Alongside my doctoral work, I have been a teaching assistant for the MSc in Migration Studies’ quantitative methods course for four years, and I currently serve as Researcher and Fieldwork Coordinator with the Refugees Economic Programme, overseeing large-scale data collection in displacement settings.

I also bring seven years of experience with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), where I led primary research on migration and displacement across South and Central Asia. 

I hold an MSc in Public Policy and Human Development from UNU-MERIT/Maastricht University and a BA in Development Economics from the University of Florence.

Beyond academic publishing, I have written for national and international newspapers and co-founded VEC, an independent magazine that is published yearly in English and Italian.

My academic and professional trajectory reflects a commitment to rigorous research, effective teaching, and evidence-based policy.
