I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, supervised by Ilan Tojerow and Sébastein Fontenay. I work at the Département d’économie appliquée (DULBEA). I am a recipient of the FRESH PhD Grant (FNRS).
I hold a Double Master Degree in Economics from LUISS Guido Carli and Economic Sciences from ULB, and a Bachelor's degree in Economic Sciences from the Università Degli Studi Roma Tre. In 2024, I visited the Faculty of Economics of University of Alcalà (Madrid).
My research interests are labor, public, and health economics, with a focus on social insurance, employment, and the barriers individuals face when responding to economic incentives. I use large-scale administrative data to study how policy design and information affect labor-market and health-related outcomes.
