About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles and a Research Affiliate at IZA. Before that, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Erasmus School of Economics and the Tinbergen Institute. I completed my PhD at the Université libre de Bruxelles (DULBEA). 

I am an applied microeconomist studying how individuals adjust job search, training, and welfare participation decisions in response to changing policy incentives. 

Using natural experiments, randomized controlled trials, and high-quality administrative and survey data, I provide causal evidence to inform policy design. Many of my projects are conducted in collaboration with policymakers.
