Welcome!

I am an interdisciplinary economist currently serving as a Teaching and Research Fellow (ATER) at Jean Monnet University, within the Saint-Étienne School of Economics. I have been affiliated with GATE Lyon-Saint-Etienne since October 2021. 

I earned my Ph.D. from Jean Monnet University and the University of Lyon (France) in 2025. 

In 2024, I was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the University of Oxford, where I conducted research at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School (INET Oxford) and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention.

My research interests include the measurement, determinants, and implications of economic inequality, as well as broader issues related to public policy, income distribution, and redistribution.

My doctoral research—funded by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research—focused on the measurement of income inequality and explored the methodological, normative, and public policy implications of using different measurement tools. I approached this work through a multidisciplinary lens combining applied economics, economic methodology, and the history of economic thought.

I completed both an M.Res. and an M.A. in Economics and Social Sciences from Lumière University Lyon 2 (France), held a one-year fellowship in the ‘Amartya Sen Program’ awarded by the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), and earned a B.A. (five-year degree) in Economics from the National University of Cuyo (Argentina).
