About

I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology in the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Milan.

My research examines how educational institutions and social backgrounds shape inequalities in educational careers and life chances. I am particularly interested in grade retention, school choice, higher education, and digitalisation. My work combines quantitative, comparative, and experimental methods.

I am a founding member of EqualScope – Center for the Study of Social Inequality and Life Chances and a member of EduLab, both based at the University of Milan.

Before joining the University of Milan, I held research positions at the University of Luxembourg’s Centre for Childhood and Youth Research and at the University of Trento. My research has appeared in journals including Social Forces, European Sociological Review, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, and Information, Communication & Society.
