I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Bocconi University’s Department of Social and Political Sciences and Dondena Centre, studying topics in comparative political economy, political sociology, and political behavior.

research. I investigate the politics of immigration, climate change, and place-based identities. My research combines diverse methods and evidence, often involving extensive qualitative fieldwork and design-based causal inference, while also developing new approaches to integrate the two. My work is published or conditionally accepted in leading political science journals, such as American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, and Comparative Political Studies, and has been featured in major media outlets like The New York Times and The Guardian. My PhD has won the IMISCOE Maria Ioannis Baganha Award as the best dissertation on migration, integration, and social cohesion in Europe. All my publications are available on this site.

vita. I received my PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the European University Institute and have spent visiting periods at Columbia University, the WZB Berlin, ETH Zurich with the Immigration Policy Lab, and Bocconi University. My research has been generously funded by the United Nations World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), Leiden University, and Fondazione Roberto Franceschi. I have collaborated on social and research dissemination projects with civil society organizations such as Fondazione Roberto Franceschi, Associazione Naga, and Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli.
