Her doctoral thesis, The Authority of Res Judicata in Criminal Proceedings in Relation to European Decisions, was published by L'Harmattan in 2024.
Her research focuses on criminal procedure, European criminal law, judicial cooperation in criminal matters, fundamental rights, asset confiscation and asset recovery, as well as the contemporary evolution of criminal justice within the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.
She has participated in several European research projects on judicial cooperation and the harmonisation of criminal law, including the EIO-LAPD project (European Investigation Order – Legal Analysis and Practical Dilemmas of International Cooperation, JUST-JCOO-AG-2018-831623) and the IPAS project (Implementing Probation and Alternatives to Detention in the European Union).
Author of numerous publications in European and comparative criminal law, her research adopts a comparative approach, with a particular focus on the French and Italian legal systems, while contributing to broader debates on the development of the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.
She has been admitted to the Italian Bar since 2016 and to the French Bar since 2019.
