A SHORT BIOGRAPHY

I am a Lecturer in Business and Management at London South Bank University (United Kingdom), where I began working in November 2024. I hold a PhD in Public Management from the Open University, with my thesis entitled "The Circular Transition through Network Governance." This research represents a holistic effort to understand the relationship between the Circular Economy and network governance in an urban context. My research interests focus on three interrelated areas: 1) The role of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise in contemporary society; 2) Governance and public management of complex and wicked problems; 3) Circular Economy and the urban transition towards circular models of production and consumption.
As a scholar, my research focus is on social entrepreneurship, social innovation, and public governance, with particular attention to interactions among different societal stakeholders. I have also published several articles on various collaborative phenomena, including relationships between public actors and other societal stakeholders, social innovation, social entrepreneurship, and public actor-nonprofit relationships.
During my career, I have also gained teaching experience at all academic levels, ranging from being a Lecturer for undergraduate and master’s modules to having my own methodological course for PhD students.
I am an expert in several methodologies, with relevant knowledge in Systematic Literature Review analysis, Bibliometric Analysis, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), Social Network Analysis, and Q methodology. Further, I have extensive knowledge of academic software, including RStudio, VOSviewer, Gephi, NVivo, and ASReview.
