I obtained my PhD (Sociology and Social Research) in 2015 at the University of Trento. At the moment, I am Assistant Professor at the University of Turin (Italy). My research interests are mainly in electoral behavior, analytical sociology and quantitative methods. I am committed in investigating whether, and in which ways, contextual elements can affect individuals' attitudes and voting behavior. These interests led me to focus on political networks and electoral geography debates. Lately, I'm getting interested in how social media data can be useful in political behavior research.
