Biography
My academic career starts at Galilean School of Higher Education in Padua where I studied law for five years and I graduate with honours.
It was during my degree course that I was fascinated by international public law, in particular through the participation in the 2012 Telders Moot Court Competition where I reached the 9th position in the ranking for Best Oralist Award.
In the following years I wrote my dissertation on international economic law about State Enterprises in International Investment Arbitration and WTO Dispute Settlement.
During my PhD I spent a year as a scientific guest at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law, I was invited to speak at the IGLRC Conference of 2017 at the King’s College London and I was awarded some funds by the French embassy in Italy to organise the Journée d’etude franco italienne at the University of Padua.
I was jointly awarded the title of PhD (Doctorat) from the University of Padua and the University Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.
In 2021 I qualified as a lawyer in Paris – (titulaire du CAPA).
The same year I published my first book Proof and the Burden of Proof in International Investment Law and I started teaching, firstly constitutional law in English at the AEI International School – UPEC near Paris and, later, International Business Law at the ICN in Nancy.
In 2023 I was selected as teaching fellow (Attaché Temporaire d’Enseignement et de Recherche – A.T.E.R.) at the AEI International School – UPEC where I taught three course named “Globalization and Regionalization”, Constitutional law and Comparing Political Systems.
The same year my Marie-Curie Project RULIERD – Investment and EU Law: Reconceptualizing Reverse Discrimination was selected and, in 2024, I moved to the University of Vienna where I am currently working as Post-doc (Projektassistent) under the supervision of Professor Michael Waibel.
