I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in economic history and political science at the University of Milan.

Research interests: Economic history; Living standards; Atlantic history; Medieval history; Industrialization; Living standards; Political Science; Deindustrialization; Archeology

In my research, I contribute to the literature on the consequences of economic development by analysing the evolution of living standards from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. I also investigate the social and political consequences of the Eden Treaty, signed between France and England in 1786 and considered as the first free trade agreement.

An important part of my research also focuses on historical social conflicts. In 2020, I released with Cédric Chambru the Historical Social Conflict Database HiSCoD. This database is designed to provide to academic researcher and general public a set of resources for analysing social conflict from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. In its current form it documents more than 20,000 episodes of social conflict for France, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and more).

In 2021, I received the AFHE-BNP Paribas prize awarded by the French Economic History Association (AFHE) for the best dissertation in economic history.

Prior to joining the University of Milan to work on a ERC project, I worked at the University of Geneva and at the University of Caen where I obtained my PhD in 2020. I have also been a visiting researcher at the University of Chicago.

I am also a waterpolo player and an e-sport fan.
