Giroux Thomas

I am a tenure track Assistant Professor of Sustainable Finance at ETH Zürich (MTEC Department). 

I explore how climate and nature shape financial returns, and how investors can drive meaningful sustainability outcomes. My research spans sustainable finance, impact investing, and risk modelling across public and private markets in both developed and emerging economies. Combining academic rigor with industry insights, I aim to generate actionable evidence for investors and regulators, ultimately helping to align our financial system with planetary and societal well-being. 

I hold a PhD in applied mathematics and sustainable finance from CREST (Center of Research in Statistics and Economics), a joint research laboratory of  ENSAE Paris and Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau (France), where I was supervised by Christian-Yann Robert. 

Prior to joining academia, I worked as a quantitative researcher and global equity portfolio manager at Mirova, a French asset manager dedicated to sustainable investment. I also co-led the Mirova Research Center, an initiative advancing academic research in sustainable finance and fostering collaboration between scholars and practitioners.

I am always open to dialogue and collaboration; Please feel free to get in touch.
