Welcome to my homepage

I am Assistant Professor (RTDa) of Economics at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, within the Faculty of Finance, Banking and Insurance.  

I am also an external fellow of the Center for European Studies (within University of Milan-Bicocca). In the recent past, I have been teaching for Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy) and ESSCA (France) various courses on economics & finance at the graduate level.  

Since 2023 I have the Italian national habilitation (ASN) to serve as Associate Professor in the 13/A2 (Economic Policy) and 13/A5 (Econometrics) fields. 

I have 20+ years of academic & professional experience in central banks, European institutions and think-tanks. I received my PhD in 2020 from Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. I'm mostly interested in macrofinance, international & public finance, information & uncertainty, and policy analysis. Here you can see my published articles and some recent research projects.
