Hello! I’m Ciro, a Ph.D. student at the University of Amsterdam, conducting research at the intersection of management and natural language processing (NLP). I am part of the Entrepreneurship & Innovation section, led by Martin Obschonka. My Ph.D. supervisors are Nachoem Wijnberg, Balazs Szatmari, and Jonathan Sitruk. I have been a visiting scholar at the House of Innovation, Stockholm School of Economics.

My research

My research is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. I am interested in how we can detect emerging knowledge and how this affects venture financing, and alliance formation. Particular focus is given to text analysis.

My background

I obtained my master’s degree in Economics & Finance and my bachelor’s degree in Economics at the University of Pavia, Department of Economics and Management. My master’s thesis entitled “Empirical Testing of One-Factor Capital Asset Pricing Model and Arbitrage Pricing Theory: Evidence from the Italian Stock Market” was supervised by Enrico Cotta Ramusino. During my graduate studies, I worked as an academic and private tutor, student guidance counsellor and assistant at the secretarial office of the University of Pavia. I also have professional working experience as an intern in public administration.
