Welcome to my website!

I am an assistant professor (Maître de conférences) at the University of Lyon 2 (Lumière) and GATE Lyon Saint-Etienne. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien).

I have obtained my PhD at the Paris School of Economics in June 2013.
An abstract of my dissertation can be found here.

A detailed CV is available here.

Research

I investigate decision-making in collective-action problems. Using game theory, behavioral economics and social psychology, I design laboratory experiments to learn (i) what are the behavioral and cognitive underpinnings of individual decisions (exploring such factors as social preferences, bounded rationality, strategic uncertainty), and (ii) how information may help improve the efficiency of interactions.
