Profile
 

Tommaso is a PhD Candidate in International Relations and Political Science at the Graduate Institute. Originally from Milan, Italy, he has an academic background spanning political science, economics, and international relations, with studies at Pompeu Fabra (Research Master in Political Science), the University of Milan (MSc in Economics and Political Science, BA in International Relations), and Sciences Po (Environmental Policy). His PhD research investigates how geopolitical instability impacts climate change, focusing on security concerns and their influence on trade policy and climate politics. Previously, Tommaso has worked as a research assistant at Bocconi University’s Social Inclusion Lab (Dondena) and as a predoctoral researcher at Centro Studi Luca D’Agliano. He is also an elected member of Milan’s City District Council, leading the Social Policy and Mobility Committee. These roles inspire his research on social exclusion in Milan’s neighborhoods and its connection to far-right voting, presented at the Società Italiana di Scienze Politiche.
