About Me
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, Bertrand Tchantcho, Zephirin Nganmeni, and I organized the First Annual Meeting on Data and AI in Social Science (MDAISS) scheduled from June 17 to 20, 2024, in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The theme was “Data and AI Tools to Boost the Private Sector and Entrepreneurship.” The Meeting consisted of a conference and training workshops on data, AI, big data, and their applications in social science and business. Some memorable moments of MDAISS 2024 and the final report will be available on the Conference Website. Feel free to email us with questions or opportunities for future editions.
