Riccardo Di Francesco

Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Southern Denmark

Hello there! I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern Denmark, working on the project “Beyond the Paycheck: Insights into the Effect of Unemployment, Organisational Change, and Job Security on Mental Health” (principal investigator: Seetha Menon).

I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics and Finance from the University of Rome Tor Vergata in September 2024. My specialization lies in econometrics, with a strong inclination towards adapting machine learning techniques for causal inference. I also focus on applied microeconomics, particularly mental health issues and LGBTQ+ economics. When I am not busy crunching numbers and analyzing data, you might find me hiking, training in the boxing ring, or strumming away on my bass guitar.
