I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Bocconi University.
My primary research focuses on political parties. I investigate how features of the competitive environment – such as electoral institutions – affect parties’ behavior in the electoral arena and in legislatures. This agenda mainly focuses on intra-party politics, electoral competition, and multi-party elections.
Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at Duke, and a Postdoc at Collegio Carlo Alberto. I received my PhD from Columbia.
