I am Professor of Econometrics at DEF since February 2018, and prior to that, I was an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics and Business Economics of Aarhus University (Denmark). Since June 2021, I hold the position of Head of the Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss. My main research fields are time-series and financial econometrics. I earned my PhD at the University of Pavia in February 2010 and held various research positions after that (visiting PhD at CREATES in 2008-2009; post-doctoral research fellow at the Department of Economics of the University of Padova in 2010-2011; FSE Post-Doc fellowship spent at CREATES from April 2011 to May 2013). During 2014, I spent a research period at the Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern University.
