I am a competition economist and researcher at Berkeley Research Group, with a PhD in Economics from the European University Institute in Florence. My research focuses on Industrial Organization, Competition Policy, and applied Microeconomics, with a particular emphasis on digitization, geopolitics, and market dynamics.
I have experience in intellectual property, merger control, and cartel damages estimation across a range of sectors, including digital platforms, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, supermarkets, steel, and railways.
I was pleased to join a distinguished panel at the 2025 Competition and Regulation European Summer School and Conference (CRESSE) in Chania, Crete, to discuss recent developments in competition law enforcement in digital markets. My contribution focused on the need to incorporate dynamic competition and capabilities-based assessments into merger control. You can view my slides here:

I am happy to share that I will be visiting the DG Competition in Brussels for an internship starting in May.
Great to see that Philip Hanspach and my work was published at www.competitionpolicyinternational.com/antitrust-chronicle-the-digital-markets-act/
I was selected as a winner of the 2022 Münster Peace Prize to pursue my research on the topic International Intergovernmental Alliances, Sanctions and Conflicts.
