I am a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Ambizione Research Fellow with the Department of Business Economics, Health and Social Care (DEASS) at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI). I am also affiliated with the Health organisation, policy and economics (HOPE) group led by Prof. Matt Sutton at the University of Manchester, where I co-lecture the Health Economics module offered to BA/BSc students in Economics, alongside module leader Dr. Luke Munford.

I obtained a PhD in Public Health with specialization in Health Economics (2019) from the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) of the University of Basel with a thesis titled “An Inquiry into Health Systems Governance: the Case of Tanzania” (available here). I also obtained a MSc in Economics from HEC Lausanne (2016), a BA in Economics from Università della Svizzera Italiana (2012), and a BSc in Business Administration from SUPSI (2011). I am a first-generation University student and – during undergraduate studies – I funded my studies by maintaining part-time (non-research) positions in the public sector in Southern Switzerland.
