About

I'm a PhD candidate in Law at the Institute of Law, Politics and Development (DIRPOLIS) at Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies specializing in disaster displacement. I actively collaborate in the Environmental Migration Hub within the Institute's DREAM Research Area, and in 5 (supra)national research projects on migration and asylum.

Moreover, I serve as external peer reviewer for UNESCO, as Contributor to the UNICEF Guiding Principles for children on the move in the context of climate change, and as Co-ordinating Committee Member of the Interest Group on Migration and Refugee Law of the European Society of International Law.

Since June 2022, I have been appointed as Expert in International Protection and Human Rights at the Territorial Commission (first-instance competent authority) in Milan to determine the need for, and if so to provide, international and national protection statuses to claimants in Italy.

In 2021/2022, I was Visiting Researcher at the Institute for Migration Studies at the Lebanese American University, at the Centre for European and Comparative Legal Studies at the University of Copenhagen, as well as at the Migration, Environment and Climate Change Division of IOM Regional Office in Vienna.
