Federico currently serves as the PhD Students’ Representative for the PhD in Political Studies in the Doctoral Students’ Council at the University of Milan.
He investigates how radical and extreme-right actors operate within democratic systems, the structural conditions that facilitate or constrain their success, and the institutional responses to their presence in the political arena (drawing on theoretical frameworks, as well as quantitative and computational methods).
