About me

I am a researcher in Sustainable Finance with a strong focus on corporate finance and the role of data in shaping firms’ financial policies and market valuation. My work leverages machine learning and textual analysis to study how sustainability considerations influence corporate financing decisions, governance practices, and relationships with investors and financial institutions. I am particularly interested in how ESG and climate-related information affects firms’ cost of capital, risk management, and long-term value creation.

I am currently an Assistant Professor (RTT) in Finance (SECS-P/09 - Finanza aziendale) at the Department of Economics and Management, University of Trento. Previously, I held a postdoctoral research position at the Technical University of Munich. Before earning my Ph.D. from the University of Trento, I completed a Master’s in Finance and a Bachelor’s in General Management at EBS University in Germany. My academic and professional journey has been driven by a commitment to combining analytical rigor with a broader societal purpose—an approach that continues to shape both my research and collaborations.
