Welcome to my page!

I am a Research Fellow at Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in Brussels, where I conduct research in EU Institutions and in particular Public Health policy.

I successfully defended my PhD in Economics (Toulouse School of Economics) in 2016. I am now a Researcher at the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS) and a Researcher at the Centre for Legal Theory and Empirical Jurisprudence, KU Leuven (Belgium).

My research interests cover Law and Economics, Public Economics, Public Health Policy, Institutional Economics and Digital Economy. Two of the chapters of my PhD thesis have been published in the Journal of Comparative Economics (link) and Constitutional Political Economy (link).

In the area of Public Health, I have published together with my authors several papers covering topics like One Health, EU public health emergency response framework, and joint procurement of medical countermeasures. I was invited to give my expert opinion to the COVI Committee of the European Parliament and also presented our research on the EU public health emergency response framework to the Chief Medical Officers of EU Member States.

Apart from Public Health, I am interested in the interactions between the legal institution and the economy, especially in the EU context. Despite the fact that the economic prospect of the European Union relies heavily on the effectiveness of the EU legal and the constitutional institutions, research on the EU legal institution still lags behind the comparative research in EU politics and EU economies (sample paper here). Second, the digitization of the economy has not only given rise to new economic and legal problems, but also produced a lot of data of untapped potential. I am passionate about employing advanced machine-learning techniques in exploiting new data (sample paper here). 

I am open to applying different research quantitative methods, ranging from conventional econometrics, machine-assisted econometrics, NLP textual analysis and network analysis.
