I am Assistant Professor of Psychometrics at the Department of Social Sciences of Kore University.

I was previously research fellow at the Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Science, under the supervision of Patricia Martinkova and postdoctoral fellow at the Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics BIDSA under the joint supervision of Antonio Lijoi and Igor Pruenster.

I earned my PhD in Psychometrics in 2024 from the Department of General Psychology at the University of Padova under the supervision of Andrea Spoto and Antonio Calcagni. I spent the last year of my PhD visiting the Statistics Departments of UCL and LSE collaborating with Ioanna Manolopoulou, Yunxiao Chen and Irini Moustaki.
