I am a PhD student in Political Science at Columbia University in the City of New York (USA), and an affiliated student at the Laboratory for Effective Anti-Poverty Policies at Bocconi University (Milan, Italy). Prior to Columbia, I received a B.Sc. and a M.SC in Economics from Bocconi University, and have worked as a research assistant at BRAC (Kampala, Uganda) and as a predoctoral fellow at the London School of Economics (London, UK).
My substantive research interests are at the intersection of behavioral political economy and development, focusing on social norms and identity across diverse contexts, such as villages in rural East-Africa and refugee camps in Europe. My methodological interests focus on the use of experimental data to structurally estimate formal models.
