I am a CNRS research director (directeur de recherche) at Lille Economics and Management (UMR CNRS 9221)
My research focuses on econometrics of interactions, studying both identification and statistical inference.
I earned my PhD in economics from University of Namur (Belgium) in 2011 and my HDR (habilitation to supervise research) from University of Burgundy (2023).
