Biography
I am a Researcher in Political Economy at the Scuola Superiore Normale, Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. I was previously working as post-doctoral research officer in the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI), the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) at Oxford Martin School, at the University of Oxford.
My research interests are centered on welfare economics, with particular emphasis on social mobility, economic inequality, and intergenerational poverty.
