Biography

I work as an associate professor of economics at the Department of Economics, Roma Tre University. I am also a honorary lecturer at the UCL Institute for Global Health, and a research fellow for the UCL Centre for Global Health Economics, the Global Labor Organization, the Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean at the Italian National Research Council, and the Fondazione Tor Vergata.

Prior to this, I held research positions at the University College London, the University of Oxford, the University of Turin, the London School of Economics, and SOAS.

I studied mathematics in Rome and economics in Toulouse. In April 2018 I obtained a PhD from University of Rome “Tor Vergata” with a thesis on the behavioural economics of responsible consumption.

My research focuses on the behavioural aspects of health economics, environmental economics, and social responsibility, and I am passionate about civil economy.

In addition to my academic career, I have been regularly involved in consultancy activities with several insititutions, including the World Bank, the OECD, UNIDO, and the Italian Ministry for the Environment.
