I am an Assistant Professor at Bocconi University in Milan Italy. I obtained my PhD in Information Systems from Boston University. My research broadly seek to understand how digital technologies change market, media, politics, and society. In my research, I combine machine learning, natural language processing, causal inference, and other computational tools to learn about human behavior and system dynamics in the real-world using large-scale structured and unstructured data.
