Bio
I am a Lecturer in Applied Economics at Bocconi University and Research Fellow at ICRIOS (Invernizzi Center for Research on Innovation, Organization, Strategy and Entrepreneurship), Bocconi University. I obtained a PhD in Economics and Management of Innovation at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and an MSc in Science and Technology Policy at SPRU, University of Sussex.
About
I am passionate about understanding how innovation drives economic and societal change, with a special focus on digital transformation and sustainability. My research examines the dynamics of emerging technologies and their impact on consumers, sectors and countries. In class, I foster critical thinking and active engagement, encouraging students to connect theory with real-world challenges.
Research Interests
My main research interests concern the diffusion of innovations and industrial dynamics - particularly in ICT industries and service sectors – and the emergence of eco-innovations in the framework of sustainable development. I have published in international journals such as Research Policy, Regional Studies, Industry and Innovation, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Technological Forecasting and Social Change.
