Welcome to my website!

I am a postdoctoral research fellow for the ERC-Consolidator project POPCLIMA – Population Dynamics under Global Climate Change at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Bologna. I hold a Ph.D. in Political and Social Sciences awarded by the European University Institute (EUI).

I am interested in the impact of climate change on population dynamics and more generally in demographic phenomena of low- and middle-income countries, such as the interplay between female social status and infant and child survival and the influence of mothers’ reproductive behaviors on offspring mortality.

My work is based on quantitative analyses of large-scale data. I have worked with Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) data and Survey on Health and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data.

I have worked as an adjunct professor of Economic and Business Demography and as a teaching assistant in Demography and Social Demography at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Bologna. I have also worked as a teaching assistant of Microsociology and Family Demography at the Department of Social Sciences of the Humboldt University.
