I hold a PhD in Public Policy and Administration from Bocconi University, Milan. My research focuses on how governance actors influence the legitimacy of democratic institutions through their policies and practices. I study transparency, formal complaint systems, and citizen trust in government organizations, using experimental methods, text analysis, and qualitative approaches.
My article in Government Information Quarterly (2024) shows that the act of disclosure itself can raise trust in government organizations, mostly among people who already value transparency. I also build open datasets on Argentine politics: a speaker-attributed corpus of Senate debates from 2000 to 2024, and polling-table election results for Buenos Aires. You can find them under Publications and Datasets.
I was born in Buenos Aires, where I studied Sociology and worked at the National Ministry of Justice and the Judiciary. In 2016, I moved to New York to study International Affairs at The New School. During that time, I conducted applied research with the Global Urban Futures Team (opens in new tab) at The New School, and with the Marron Institute of Urban Management (opens in new tab) at NYU.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, playing chess, working out, and experimenting with large language models. You can see some of my side projects here.
