About Me 

Download my CV

I am an Assistant Professor in Economics at the Department of Economics at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.  

I have a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Ottawa (2018) in Canada. 

My research interests span the fields of microeconomic theory, political economy, and the economics of organizations. My research agenda involves designing and implementing policies that induce stable, inclusive, sustainable, and efficient outcomes for better societies. I am interested in projects focusing on markets, politics, organizations, and environmental issues.

Marie Christelle Mabeu and I are thrilled to announce our call for participation in the First Annual Meeting on Data and AI in Social Science (MDAISS) scheduled from June 17 to 20, 2024, in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This year’s theme is “Data and AI Tools to Boost the Private Sector and Entrepreneurship.” The meeting will consist of a conference and training workshops on data, AI, big data, and their applications in social science and business. Participation is free, but registration is mandatory through the Conference Website. The registration deadline is May 20, 2024. Feel free to email us if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in Yaoundé.
