Hi! I am a PhD Student at the Institute of Economics and I am interested in the effects of Digitalization on different Organizations and their performance.

I continued with my Master's in Economics and Data Analysis at the University of Bergamo, where I graduated in 2021 with a thesis on the Italian Industry 4.0 Plan and its effects on firms' performance.
