Hello!

I study how money moves. My work spans from the physics of individual financial transactions to the network structure of money flow through real e-money payment systems. Here you’ll find a series papers that bridge this gap – interweaving network science, complex systems, economic sociology, economics, and physics to build a scientific understanding of the circulation of money.

In my position as Data & AI Researcher at Intesa Sanpaolo in Turin, Italy I provide specialized expertise on digital assets and further projects on the propagation of economic shocks over real inter-firm networks. My published articles tough on transaction data from digital payment systems, the structure of production networks, temporal network methods, and random walks on networks.

My work is often directly policy- or industry-facing, including prior collaborations with the Central Bank of Brazil, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, Statistics Netherlands, Grassroots Economics, ING Bank, the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group), Microfinance Opportunities, and Telenor Research. My research has been funded via the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the NSF INTERN program, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
