Profile Summary

I am an Associate Professor of Finance with a PhD in Finance from LUISS Guido Carli, Italy, and a completed postdoctoral fellowship at Lund University School of Economics and Management, Sweden. I offer research consulting, statistical/data review, literature review, and manuscript writing/editing services in finance and related social science research. My published work spans value investing and asset pricing, behavioral and experimental finance, investor psychology, corporate intangibles and mispricing, banking risk, and robo-advisory/fintech adoption, with 20+ peer-reviewed publications in journals including the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance, International Review of Financial Analysis, European Journal of Finance, Journal of Business Ethics, and Journal of Behavioral Finance. I also actively review submissions for these and other finance journals, so I bring a reviewer's eye to checking methodology, statistical soundness, and the strength of an argument — not just producing content, but making sure it holds up. Available for short- and medium-term projects: research design, data/statistical review, literature reviews, academic writing and editing, and finance-related consulting.
