In September 2025, I have joined SDA Bocconi as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor.
My research activity focuses on venture capital, complex systems, artificial intelligence applications to finance, tokenization and blockchain in finance, financial networks, capital markets, and banking.
​
My PhD thesis, “Venture Capital and Complex Systems”, honored cum laude, was nominated among the best theses by the French complex system society (2023) and the European Financial Management Association (2025).​​
