I am a Ph.D. candidate on a joint double-degree program at University of Bologna (Italy) and Paris City University (France) in the fields of Political and Social Science and Modern History. I was a fellow at the Cold War Archives Research (CWAR) Institute at the Wilson Center in 2023/2024. In Fall 2023, I was a visiting fellow at the Department of History at Harvard University.

My doctoral dissertation titled "Development Brokers: The World Bank, Economic Expertise and the Reinvention of Global Economic Governance in the 1960s" offers a revisionist analysis of the political economy of the World Bank in the 1960s, during the so-called Development Decade (see more in Research).

I am pursuing international and multi-archival historical research combined with a global research outlook. I have accessed archives in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, participated in work and research stays in Italy, France, Estonia, Japan, and the United States, and presented my work at conferences and workshops in Europe, North America, and Latin America (see Presentations).
