I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where I am affiliated to the Data Science Institute.
I work under the supervision of Valentino Larcinese and Stephane Wolton in the Political Economy (PSPE) research group.

My research interests orbit around Political Economy, using historical evidence, quasi-experimental designs, and text-as-data. I am particularly interested in the nexus between political inequality and public policy, and the role of labor unions therein.

Prior to LSE, I worked as a pre-doctoral fellow at FAIR, Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen.
I hold a BA (2021) and MSc (2023) in Economics from the Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna.
