I am a Visiting Scholar at the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University (2026–2027). From 2027, I will be a Research Associate at the ERC project ShockAge at the University of Vienna.

Previously, I have held research fellowships at the European University Institute, Harvard University, the Paris School of Economics, the Einaudi Foundation, and the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. I hold a double Ph.D. from the University of Bologna and Paris City University.

I study the making of twentieth-century global economic governance, with particular focus on how international organizations have reshaped societies through knowledge production, policy design, and development programs. I am especially interested in economic decolonization, the North-South dialogue, Bretton Woods institutions, structural adjustment programs, and the role of economists in multilateral governance.

My research has been recognized with multiple competitive awards, grants, and fellowships, including the Best Article Award from AISPE (2025) and the Joseph Dorfman Prize for Best Ph.D. Dissertation in the History and Methodology of Economics from HES (2026; see Grants & Awards).

I have conducted archival research in the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Malawi, as well as in multilateral organizations such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the United Nations. I have also undertaken research and work stays in Italy, France, Estonia, Japan, and the United States, and presented my work at conferences and workshops across Europe, North America, and Latin America (see Presentations).

My first book, Development Brokers: The World Bank, Economic Expertise, and Global Governance, is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press (see Research).
