About me
Hi there! I am an Economist interested in Data Science. I am passionate about data and in particular macroeconomic data. I have 7+ years of experience in teaching introductory courses in Economics and Econometrics. I have also worked on academic projects aimed at creating interactive contents for students. My goal is to combine my knowledge of Macroeconomics with my interest in Data Science. Occasionally I write articles on economic policy issues in Italy and Europe.

Skills
Experience
I have worked mainly on two projects, MGWK, short for the German Modelltheoretische Grundlagen wirtschaftspolitischer Kontroversen, and WIPOSIM - The economic policy simulator. Goal of the two project was to teach Macroeconomics in an interactive and engaging way using some simple simulations. Both projects have been developed entirely in R/RStudio and numerous other packages (shiny, plotly, bookdown, etc.).
My responsibilities included:
- Programming of the simulations and the relative interactive applications
- Drafting the explanatory texts for the simulations
- Editorial work on the final textbook
As contract lecturer (Lehrbeauftragter) I have developed and taught the following courses:
- Business Economics (WS 2017-18)
- Economics Tutorium (WS 2016-17)
- International Economics (SS 2016, SS 2018)
- Macroeconomics: The Economic Cycle and Employment (SS 2016, WS 2016-17, SS 2017, SS 2018, WS 2018-19, SS 2019)
- Quantitative Methods for Economists (WS 2017-18, WS 2018-19, WS 2019-20, WS 2020-21, WS 2021-22, WS 2022-23, WS 2023-24)
- Research Methods Seminar (WS 2019-20)
