I am an applied economist employing experimental
methods to address policy-relevant questions in development, education, labor,
and gender economics. I am a J-PAL

Affiliated Researcher at the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities ( LEO) and an EGAP research member. I hold a PhD in Economics
from the University of Oxford, a Master of Science in Economics from the London
School of Economics and Political Science, and a Bachelor of Science in
Economics and Social Science from Bocconi University.

Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the World
Bank, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the IZA G²LM|LIC program, the

2017, I was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Vernon L.
Smith Ascending Scholar Prize, which is presented by the International
Foundation for Research in Experimental Economics (IFREE) to an exceptional
