After graduating in Economics for Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions at Bicocca University, Marco continued his academic journey by obtaining a Master’s Degree in Data Science and Economics from the University of Milan. During this period, he also had the opportunity to spend a semester at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) as an Erasmus student. As demonstrated by his Master’s thesis on predicting the prices of critical minerals using factor models, Marco is interested in both environmental issues and analysis of time series. Since January 2024, he has been a researcher in the RAw Materials for the Energy Transition (RAMET) program.
