She got a PhD in Economics for Business and Quantitative Methods (Cum Laude) at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid under the supervision of Andrea Fosfuri, professor in Bocconi University (Italy).

In addition, she has also tried to shed light on the factors affecting the licensing trade-off (i.e. the balance between benefits and costs associated with a licensing decision) and to explore in detail how the licensor’s bargaining power affects the returns from licensing.
