I am a PhD candidate in economics at MIT. Prior to joining MIT, I studied at École Polytechnique. You can find my CV here, and my Google Scholar profile here.

I work on questions in urban economics and political economy using tools from international trade and empirical industrial organization.

In September 2026, I will join Stanford University as a Hoover Fellow and SIEPR Research Scholar. In 2027, I will join the University of Chicago as a Saieh Family Fellow at the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics, before joining the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics as an Assistant Professor in 2028.
