MU welcomes new faculty member in Public Governance and Management

The staff and faculty of MODUL University Vienna are thrilled to introduce their newest faculty member, Dr. M. Graziano Ceddia, Associate Professor at the Department of Public Governance and Management. He holds a BSc, from the University of Siena, Italy and MSc and PhD degrees from the University of York, UK.

Dr. Ceddia comes to MU after serving as program director for the MSc in Agricultural Economics at the School of Agricultural Policy and Development at the University of Reading, UK which boasts an esteemed history as a top research institute on both the national and international levels. There he lectured on applied economics and furthered his own research and teaching interests which focus on ecological, resource, public, health, and agricultural economics, as well as applied microeconomics.

Prior to his position in England, Dr. Ceddia worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies in Seville, Spain, one of the seven scientific institutes of the European Commission’s Joint Research Center. He is also part of several ongoing research initiatives, including a US-funded working group for synthesizing and predicting infectious diseases.

Over the past several years, Dr. Ceddia’s engagement in research and academic activities across Europe has awarded him extensive knowledge which will be invaluable for MODUL University’s students. In addition to teaching courses in the BBA and MSc programs, some students will have the opportunity to work directly with him as a supervisor for both master’s and bachelor’s theses.

MU Vienna is delighted to welcome Dr. Ceddia at a time when the university is enjoying tremendous growth in research and scholarship. His expertise will be highly beneficial to the continuing development of MU’s academic programs and strengthening its impressive academic team.
