Profile

I hold a Joint PhD in Art and Technology (Paris 8) and Urban Planning (Rome La Sapienza) and have a background in development economics. My doctoral dissertation on the electronic music industry investigated the links between creative industries, urban space, and "techno" cultures in London and Detroit. I am now working on different publications analysing night-time economies and night work; and I am writing a book that develops the arguments of my doctoral research. More broadly, my interests fall within two themes: 1) inequalities, urbanisation and global development; and 2) the night-time economy.
