About

I am an Associate Professor at University of Rouen Normandy in the Laboratoire d’Economie Rouen Normandie (LERN).

I defended my PhD thesis, supervised by Alain Desdoigts, in July 2025 at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University.

From 2025 to 2026, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at AgroParisTech in the Centre for International Research on Environment and Development (CIRED), supervised by Thierry Brunelle.

From 2023 to 2025, I was a Teaching Fellow (ATER) in the Department of Economics at Sciences Po Paris.

My research interests are primarily in development and agricultural economics.
