About me

Assistant Professor of Finance (Maître de Conférences) at the Université Paris Dauphine, and currently fellow of The Risk Institute at The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.

I received bachelor's degrees in economics and econometrics from the Université Toulouse I Capitole and the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, a master's degree in sociology from the Université Paris-Descartes, a master’s degree in economics from the EHESS and the Paris School of Economics (Master APE), and a doctorate in economics from the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.

My research interests are in the areas of financial economics and environmental economics. I do empirical research, and collect my own data using textual analysis.

I grew up in Toulouse (France) and Barcelona (Spain).
