I am an Isaac Newton Trust Academic Career Development Fellow in the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Newnham College. I specialise in environmental economics, and my research lies at the intersection of applied microeconometrics, climate economics, labour economics, and macroeconomics. My work uses microdata and microeconometric methods to study questions related to labour markets, economic growth, and the economic impacts of climate change.
I have recently submitted my PhD thesis in Environmental Economics at the London School of Economics (LSE), entitled “Essays on the Economics of Climate Impacts, Inequality, and Adaptation: From Micro to Macro”. I also hold an MSc in Environmental Economics and Climate Change from LSE, an MSc in Economic and Social Sciences from Bocconi University, and a BSc in Economics and Business from the University of Bari.
I was a trainee at the European Central Bank in the Directorate General Economics, and a research assistant at the Baffi Carefin Centre at Bocconi University. At LSE, I was a graduate teaching assistant for the courses Applied Quantitative Methods (GY428), Applied Environmental Economics (GY222), and the summer school course Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development (EC240).
