A recurring theme in his work is the spatial dimension of economic outcomes, including residential integration, real estate market dynamics, and geographic proximity to borders or hazards. He integrates data science techniques, particularly programming in Python and STATA, to develop tools for empirical analysis and reproducible research. The collection of articles reflects a strong trend in applied econometrics, causal inference, and spatial analysis. His work spans health economics (e.g., benzodiazepine prescribing), labor and urban economics (e.g., migration, job accessibility), and environmental and insurance economics (e.g., natural hazard impacts). Methodologically, he engages with difference-in-differences, event study designs, spatial modeling, and text analysis, often building or applying computational tools to address research questions. He has contributed to teaching at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels, particularly in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and data-intensive courses such as Textual Analysis and Spatial Data for Economists. Teaching Assistant, Microeconomics A (Bachelor) Teaching Assistant, Macroeconomics B (Bachelor) Teaching Assistant, Textual Analysis and Spatial Data for Economists (Master) Mattia Albertini is actively involved in open science, sharing code for econometric methods, data visualization, and application development (e.g., a gluten-checking app) on GitHub. His interdisciplinary approach combines economic theory, statistical modeling, and computational tools to investigate real-world policy-relevant questions.

Paksi Julianna Kitti is a Lecturer and Scientific Assistant in Egyptology at the University of Basel's Department of Classical Studies, working under Prof. Susanne Bickel's chair since March 2024. Her academic background includes a Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Basel and École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE-PSL) in Paris, completed summa cum laude in 2020 with her dissertation on 'Linguistic Heterogeneity in the Ramesside Royal Inscriptions.' She also holds M.A. degrees in Egyptology and International Relations from Hungarian universities. Her research focuses on: Linguistic heterogeneity of Ramesside royal inscriptions Intertextuality and textual transmission in the Theban necropolis Epigraphy of monumental inscriptions Spatial-material context of tomb inscriptions Dr. Paksi's recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a sophisticated approach combining linguistic analysis with archaeological context, particularly examining inscriptions in Tomb TT 84 and intertextual relationships between different Theban tombs. Her work reveals how spatial positioning and material conditions influenced textual transmission in ancient Egypt. She has secured competitive research funding through SNSF Postdoc.Mobility and Early Postdoc.Mobility fellowships for projects on textual composition in Theban tombs and intertextuality in the mid-Eighteenth Dynasty necropolis. Her professional trajectory shows progression from doctoral research through postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Liège to her current position at Basel. Dr. Paksi maintains active collaborations with leading Egyptologists across Europe and is preparing a monograph based on her dissertation for publication in the Zeitschrift für ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde supplementary volumes.
