Ivan Napoli - About Me

Hello! I’m Ivan Napoli, a PhD candidate in Economics of Innovation at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.

My research explores the intersection between artificial intelligence and social sustainability, with a particular focus on how digital technologies shape educational and inclusion opportunities.

I am currently investigating the impact of large language models on the research practices and productivity of PhD students, as part of a broader effort to understand the socio-economic implications of AI adoption in academic and professional contexts.

My interests span AI impact analysis, education, and financial inclusion.

This website serves as a space to share ongoing work, collaborations, and reflections on digital transformation.

I believe in research that is rigorous, socially relevant, and openly communicated.

A real “about me”? I have a mild obsession with world flags, and Midnight in Paris is my guilty-pleasure rewatch.
