SHORT BIO
Presently member of CEPS Economic Policy Unit since April 2011. I am also a researcher at the
Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) in Rome and at the Observatoire Français des Conjonctures
Economiques (OFCE) in Paris. I am currently undertaking a PhD in Economics at Sciences Po, Paris,
after having completed the Double Degree Master Program in “International Political Economy” of
London School of Economics & Sciences Po. I hold a BSc in European Economics (2010) from Roma
Tor Vergata University. As a result of my interdisciplinary studies, economics and political science, my
work is mainly focused on international political economy issues, with a specific knowledge of the
European situation. Furthermore, before arriving at CEPS I have completed an internship period at the
FAO Statistical Division, where I have acquired specific expertise in the statistical and quantitative
economic analysis.
