Welcome to my personal page! I am a Lecturer (Assistant professor) at the University of Bristol, where I started in September 2022. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of California, San Diego. My research focus is in Econometrics and Policy Evaluation. I study how to robustify causal inference procedures against data limitations that typically arise in applied economic research.

“Pietro is the best lecturer I have ever had at university. You can really tell he puts a lot of effort into his teaching and is really enthusiastic about it. He creates a very safe teaching environment where I always felt comfortable asking questions. He was always very helpful answering questions and adapting to students preferences in lectures.”

“The learning environment that he provided for us was above and beyond expectations. He is easily reached in and outside of class and he makes learning this difficult material easier to understand”
“I really enjoyed having Pietro as an instructor. He promotes a fantastic learning environment and truly understands the content he teaches. He is one of the best instructors I’ve had so far, especially in terms of caring for his students”
