I am currently a Professor of Economics at the School of Economics and Management (IAE) of Nantes Université. In March 2023, I obtained the Habilitation to Direct Research (HDR). The title of my HDR thesis is:
Social Networks and Economic Behavior: Theory and Applications
The defense committee included Nizar Allouch, Frédéric Deroïan, Jean-Christophe Péreau, Benoît Sévi, Thomas Vallée, and Yves Zenou.
Previously, I completed my PhD at CIRAD after earning a Master's degree from Toulouse School of Economics, having spent all my post-bac studies in Toulouse.
