Property Rights and Citizenship of the German Ex-Enemy Aliens (1918-1932), supervisor Professor Daniela L. Caglioti (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli). In his research, he aims to examine the relationship between property rights and citizenship in the case of the former German enemy aliens who had been persecuted with the internment and the deprivation of goods by the Entente countries during WWI and in the aftermath of the conflict.
