I am a PhD student at DPIR at the University of Oxford.
My research focuses on the fields of identity politics, comparative political economy, and political behaviour, with a geographical focus on Western European countries. Methodologically, my research employs surveys, laboratory experiments, and causal inference.
Overall, my current research encompasses the following topics.
- public opinion's nuances on immigration and positive attitudes towards immigrants;
- the politicisation of new issues related to gender, sexuality, and race;
- the formation of attitudinal bundles across different political dimensions.
I hold a BSc in Economic and Social Sciences and a MSc in Politics and Policy Analysis from Bocconi University (Milan, Italy). During the Spring of 2024, I was a Visiting Student Research Collaborator at the Bobst Center at Princeton University.
