Welcome! I am a postdoctoral researcher at CORE/LIDAM, Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain). As an empirical economist, I work at the intersection of political economy, development economics, and economic history. I study how ethnic minorities shape the economies and politics around them.

I completed my PhD in Economics at Monash University, Australia where I was affiliated with SoDa Labs in 2025. I was a visiting PhD student at King's College London and University of Warwick in 2024. 

I am on the 2026/27 job market.

Here is my CV.
