I am a Phd student in Economics at Bocconi University. Before that, I was as a honors student at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, where I earned my Master’s degree in Economics.

I am working in the fields of Economics of Science and Innovation.
In my research so far, I tried to go after two questions: First, how do scientists and engineers transfer their skills to new contexts, and possibly generate innovation and growth? Second, when and how should the public sector direct technological change? I tried to answer to the first question by studying the careers of Italian nuclear scientists, whose field of studies was defunded after the Chernobyl disaster. In another project I studied how public procurement impacts US innovative small businesses.
