I am a PhD candidate in Economics at CESAER (INRAE) under the supervision of Julie Le Gallo and Marie Breuillé. I am currently based in Barcelona, visiting Albert Solé-Ollé at the IEB/UB. 

My research interests are in urban, political and environmental economics. I study the interaction of local politics and land-use policies and their consequences on environmental and economic outcomes. 

In a previous life, I worked as a Data Scientist for the French Court of Auditors.
