Biography

Background

I am a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Edinburgh. I completed my Ph.D. at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. Before joining Edinburgh, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Mannheim, Germany.

My research studies how heterogeneity across households and frictions in product markets, often modeled through search and matching frameworks, shape individual behavior and aggregate macroeconomic outcomes. I combine large-scale microeconomic data with structural macroeconomic models, drawing on tools from applied microeconometrics and machine learning.

I teach courses in macroeconomics and quantitative methods, with a focus on connecting theoretical models to real-world data.
