App Lab is an easy to use app to run experiments on smartphones. It is available for both Android and iOS and it allows researchers to distribute experiments directly in subjects’ pockets. It is compatible with easy to use tools such as oTree and Qualtrics, and can also be used for notifications and payments.

I mostly work on the economics of social networks, with game theory models, experiments, and the analysis of complex networks.

I am working as Principal Investigator on the following PRIN projects, financed by the Italian Ministry of Research:

  • 2023-2025 PRIN PNRR project P20228SXNF “Following a cohort of university students through app-based experiments: beliefs, attitudes, narratives, and their consequences on social outcomes", with Università Bicocca di Milano;
  • 2023-2025 PRIN project 2022389MRW “Co-designing robust schools to create public value for the young generations” with Università Bocconi and Università Bicocca di Milano;


At Bocconi, I am member of the BIDSA research center.
