I am a Professor of International Relations at the Department of Sociology and Social Research of the University of Trento. I obtained a PhD from the University of Bologna, was a post‐doctoral researcher at the University of Antwerp (2009-2013), and held positions as an Assistant professor at the LUISS Guido Carli (2013-2016) and the University of Bologna (2016). I currently coordinate the BA in International Studies and I am a member of the Board of the Doctorate of Research in International Studies of the School of International Studies of the University of Trento. I also act as an expert evaluator for various national and international research funding bodies. 

My research interests are in the area of International Political Economy and my research focuses on the political‐economy of globalization, with particular emphasis on the politics of trade and investments, transnational advocacy at the global and EU-levels, and international regulatory cooperation. Recently, I expanded my research agenda to include analyses of how globalization-induced economic distress affects individual-level preferences and political behavior.

I am the author of five monographs and my research has been published in journals such International Organization, Regulation & Governance, Journal of Common Market Studies, Journal of European Public Policy, Review of International Studies, European Political Science Review and Review of international Organizations.
