About me

My research interests include energy market design and modelling, renewable subsidies, and advancing our understanding of energy economics topics.

I hold a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research grant on investigating how the increasing presence of energy storage can cannibalise its market and how the growing presence of renewable may exacerbate or dampen this effect. I carry out this research at the GREEN Centre, Bocconi University.

I was the PI of the peer-reviewed project “Decarbonising the energy system by incentivising energy storages in the right places” funded with €150,000 (PNRR funds for young researchers), aiming at investigating the role of grid-scale energy storage in decarbonising the Italian energy system. 

Previously, I was a postdoc at the Universities of Edinburgh, Oxford, and Bath, working on Energy Market Design. I have an interdisciplinary background with a PhD in Engineering, an MS in Finance, and a BS in Economics. I taught Energy Market at the University of Oxford and Siena. I presented my works in several forums, including the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra. 

Since 2024, I am an Affiliated Scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC).

In 2023, I received the qualification as Associate Professor in Applied Economics (SECS-P/06).

I received the 1st Prize Best Conference Paper award at the 17th European Energy Market Conference 2020.
