I am a 6th-year Phd student in Economics at Bocconi University.
In February 2026, I will join the University of Chicago as a Postdoctoral Scholar in Economics, working with professor Ufuk Akcigit.

My research examines the career transitions of highly skilled workers to assess whether they transfer their expertise when changing jobs. I find that such transfers can influence key economic outcomes, including credit allocation, innovation, and scientific productivity.

In a paper coauthored with Angelo D’Andrea (Bank of Italy) I demonstrate that bank managers can carry their client portfolios when moving to a competitor, thereby improving the efficiency of credit allocation in the economy.

A second project investigates the limited transferability of specialized scientific human capital with Italian nuclear physicists. After facing a large negative funding shock, they struggled to reallocate their expertise to new fields, resulting in lower productivity.
