I am an Assistant Professor in Economics. My research focuses on three main areas: history of economic thought in the 20th century, 21st century political economy and Economics & Philosophy.
Interested in economics and its history since my discovery of economic and social sciences at the Lycée du Forez (42), I pursued higher education in selective postgraduate schools at Lycée Ampère in Lyon (69) and later at Lumière Lyon 2 University with the goal of becoming a teacher. I obtained the french certificate (CAPES) in Social and Economic Sciences in 2014.
After a year of teaching in highschool at the Lycée du Parc (69), I undertaked a Ph.D. dissertation in the history of economic thought, through the lens of Ken Galbraith's integral economics, within Triangle and Lumière Lyon 2 University (69). The defense took place on November 17th, 2020. I published a revised version of my dissertation in french 2022 and a Russian translation has been published in 2024.
After spending a year at the Center for Research on Economic Strategies (CRESE) at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon (25) during the 2020-2021 academic year, I assumed the position of Associate Professor in Economics at EconomiX and Paris-Nanterre University (92) on September 2021. I'm moving back to the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon and CRESE in September 2025.
I am elected member of the board of the Association Charles Gide since 2021.
