I am a postdoctoral researcher with the Inequality in Rome Research Group based at Roma Tre University. In the fall 2023 term, I will be Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the City University of New York (CUNY). I will join the Department of Socioeconomics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) as Assistant Professor in fall 2023.

I am also a Visiting Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics, associated with the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center, and an affiliate of the Research Institute Economics of Inequality at WU Vienna.

I received a PhD in Economics and Social Sciences from WU Vienna in 2022. During my PhD, I held visiting positions at UC Berkeley and LISER.

My research aims at fostering our understanding of how social, economic and political institutions and mechanisms link inequalities in opportunities to inequalities in outcomes. Within this framework, I focus on the distribution of wealth, intergenerational mobility and the geography of inequality.

Most of my work has a strong policy focus, and I actively disseminate my research findings to diverse audiences. I regularly contribute to the public debate and write for blogs and the print press.

I have gained extensive teaching experience at WU Vienna. I am teaching mainly Economics of Distribution, Economic Policy, Spatial Economics and Econometrics.

On this page, you find information about my publications, working papers and ongoing research projects, and a selection of public writing, policy papers and media appearances.
