After Barcelona, I started a PhD in Economics, at the Catholic University of Milan. Now, I expect to finish the doctoral program in February 2017. My main research interests are industrial organization, microeconomics and contract theory. I am currently working on theoretical models of IO under the supervision of prof. Salvatore Piccolo. In the meantime, I am working as teaching assistant for two courses of "Introductory Microeconomics" for bachelor students.

During the Phd program, I have also had the possibility to get benefit from a period abroad, at the Oxford University, under the supervision of Prof. Margaret Meyer. In that period, I had the opportunity to know the faculty, find new research projects and present my current research.

The Master Program gave me some basic tools that I'm currently using in my research. Moreover, it gave me the possibility to get in touch with some prominent scholars who inspired me for what concerns my career and my current research. I will be always grateful to BSE and maybe I will come back soon or later (but as a researcher).
