I'm a Social Statistician with research interests in migration and refugee studies. I got a PhD in Applied statistics at the University of Palermo, where I'm currently a full professor. I'm also the PI of the research project AVRAI (Assessing the Vulnerability of Refugees and Asylum-seekers in Italy), a joint project (started in October 2023) with researchers from the Italian universities of Milan Bicocca, Bologna and Calabria.
