In a few words: My research is organized around two main fields. The first one aims to better understand the agglomeration of activities by evaluating the spatial concentration and identifying the factors that explain it. My second field of research focuses on measuring local biodiversity and analyzing the causes of the biodiversity decline, particularly by studying the role of invasive species. Although my work is characterized by a strong multidisciplinary approach, it primarily falls within the fields of spatial statistics applied to economics, economic geography and environmental economics.
I've been teaching for over 20 years in higher education from bachelor to doctorate in various economic fields. I taught at the Université Paris-Saclay, Université Lyon 2, Université Paris 1, Université de Tours and I have also enjoyed teaching abroad in the United-States, in China, in Vietnam and in Italy.
