I am Assistant Professor at the Dipartimento di Economie e Finanza (DiEF) - Università degli Studi di Bari "Aldo Moro".

My research focuses on the evaluation of social justice in the distribution of outcomes within a society, and on the measurement of individual well-being.  Recently, I have also been working on matching theory and algorithmic solutions to allocative problems. 

I collaborated to the creation of the Global Estimates of Opportunity and Mobility database, the biggest database of its kind to provide estimates on inequality of opportunity worldwide. This project is a collaboration between the International Inequalities Institute (London School of Economics), the Department of Economics and Finance (University of Bari), and various international institutions.

During the summer 2020 I obtained a PhD in Economics from the  University of Salento - Department of Economics under the supervision of Prof. Vitorocco Peragine. Moreover, in May 2024 I completed a PhD in Economics at the  European Center for Advanced Research in Economics and Statistics (ECARES) - Université libre de Bruxelles, under the supervision of Prof. Bram De Rock.  

I obtained a bachelor and a master degrees in Economics and Trade from the Department of Economics and Finance -  University of Bari "Aldo Moro"  followed by a Research Master in Economics from the  Economic School of Louvain -  Université catholique de Louvain .

I was born the 3rd of December 1992 in Altamura: a beautiful city in the south of Italy, close to Matera and Bari.  I've  had a short career as a kickbox and chinese-box fighter under the guidance of Master S. Matera . This adventure ended in 2015, I am still passionate about fighting sports but their practice is now more of an excuse for a beer with friends. 

Here is a more detailed curriculum vitae.
