PhD Candidate in Economics

University of Turin & Collegio Carlo Alberto

Welcome

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Turin and a PhD fellow at Collegio Carlo Alberto, under the supervision of Pierluigi Conzo.

My work explores how individual opinions and behaviors respond to their informational and political environment. I examine how experiences such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the provision of information, priming, and exposure to political campaigns shape what people think and how they act. I combine survey and laboratory experiments with large-scale observational data.

I am visiting Cornell University for the 2026 Spring semester hosted by Professor Seth Sanders.
