About me:
I am an Italian sociologist.
My main job is at the University of Trento, where I work as a methologist in the monitoring and assessment of academic quality and activities.
Since 2019, I have also been teaching as a contract professor at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano: Economic Statistics and Sociology of the Territory (MA in Public Policy and Administration); General Sociology, Social Policy, Housing-related Social Policy and Intervention (BA Program in Social Work).
I spent the 2012-2017 period at the latter university, working full-time as an Assistant Professor, within an interdisciplinary project in survey methodology.
I contributed to the teaching activities of the Faculty of Economics and Management, mainly in the fields of empirical methods and social network analysis.
Previously, I worked as a research assistant at the University of Trento, Department of Sociology and Social Research, being the Executive Co-ordinator of the departmental Research Laboratory (LaboR).
I have also carried out many research activities on a freelance basis and/or in cooperation with other research organizations.
