Welcome to my website!
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, where I am affiliated with the Wharton School and the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law.
My research lies in applied microeconomics at the intersection of crime, criminal justice, gender, and labor economics, with a focus on gender inequalities and the economics of the justice system.
I obtained my Ph.D. from the Paris School of Economics and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in June 2026. I am also an affiliated researcher at the Institut des politiques publiques (IPP) and the Institut national de l'audiovisuel (INA).
Beyond my academic work, I am actively engaged in policy debates and with the media to help bring research evidence into public discussions and inform civil society and policy choices.
