Biography

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Nova School of Business and Economics. My research interests include the impact of regulation on the digital economy, privacy as well as the strategic reactions of firms/individuals in platform markets. My work lies at the intersection of Information Systems, Strategy and Applied Industrial Organization and has been published at peer-reviewed journals including Marketing Science and International Journal of Industrial Organization. Also, I have presented my work at various Management and Information Systems conferences, including the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Summer Institute, the Workshop on Information Systems and Economics (WISE), the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (AoM), and Statistical Challenges in E-Commerce Research (SCECR). Currently, I am teaching network analytics and digital platforms design. After getting my PhD, and before rejoining academia, I worked at the Joint Research Center of the European Commission as a Scientific Officer.
