Hello, welcome to my website !

I recently defended my PhD in international trade at The Centre d'économie de la Sorbonne, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne,  under the supervision of Maria Bas and Léa Marchal.  

My dissertation, Three Essays on Firms' Imports, examines how imports and import-related policies shape firms' financing decisions, workforce organization, and sourcing strategies. Drawing on large administrative and firm-level datasets from France and India, my research combines applied microeconomics and international trade to study the interplay between trade policies and firm behavior. 

I received a BSc in economics from the Faculty of Economics and Political Sciences (french section), Cairo University and Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne in 2019 and a Master in international trade and environment from Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne in 2021. 

My research interests lie at the intersection of international trade, labor economics, and corporate social responsibility, with a particular focus on how firms adapt to a complex global environment shaped by trade dynamics and public policies.
