Short Bio

I received the PhD in Economics, curriculum Economics and Complexity, in January 2019. During my PhD, I studied indicators of interdisciplinarity and novelty in science and technology and I spent seven months at the Department of Network and Data Science of the Central European University (Budapest) as a visiting PhD student. I hold a Master of Arts in Economics and Complexity at the Collegio Carlo Alberto and a Master’s Degree in Theoretical Physics at the University of Turin.
