I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at HEC Lausanne, the business school of the University of Lausanne, in the Strategy, Globalization, and Society (SGS) group.
My research lies in organizational economics, with a focus on crisis management, firm governance, and the impacts of robotization. My work is strongly grounded in quantitative analysis.
