My research activity focuses on venture capital, capital markets and banking, combining financial disciplines with innovative methodologies ranging from artificial intelligence to complex systems and network science.

​

My PhD thesis, “Venture Capital and Complex Systems” was nominated among the best theses by the French complex system society (2023) and the European Financial Management Association (2025).

​

I will be joining SDA Bocconi as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in June 2025.
