WELCOME!

I am an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore (Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy) , diving into the world of urban, environmental and transportation economics. 

Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the NBER and a harvard associate. I obtained my PhD from CREST- Ecole Polytechnique in 2023. 

I conduct research on urban-related public policies, with a special focus on environmental and transportation aspects. I am fascinated by the central role of transportation in today's cities, the way it shapes residential sorting and, the distributional effects behind the new traffic-calming policies.

A question I've been meditating on: to what extent can we (un)build our way out?
