About

In 2004, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in International and Diplomatic Sciences from the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Turin (Italy). In 2006, I obtained an LL.M. in European Business Law from the Faculty of Law of Leiden University (The Netherlands). In March 2010, I defended his PhD thesis in the Law Department of the European University Institute, Florence (Italy).
During my studies, I developed a number of different research interests, from international relations to EU law. In particular, my current research interest concerns the development of competition law in the emerging economies, a topic on which I have published a number of  articles in academic journals. My doctoral thesis concerns the systems of merger control in the emerging economies, taking Brazil and Argentina as cases study. In order to conduct research for his PhD thesis, between April and July 2008, I was a visiting scholar at the Universidad San Andrés in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
During my studies, I had internship experiences in the European Commission and in the Italian Diplomatic Mission to the OSCE in Vienna (Austria). In addition, during the last years I collaborated with the legal database Caselex in the area of Italian and EU competition law. Finally, between April and July 2010 I taught the seminar classes of the course of substantive EU Law at Utrecht University (The Netherlands).
At the moment, I am a research assistant in the Florence School of Regulation of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, Florence (Italy). Besides conducting research, I am involved in the organization of the e-learning course provided to the officers of the national telecom regulatory authorities concerning the EU legislation in the telecom and media sectors.
