I am an Economist at the Direction des Statistiques, des Études et de la Documentation (DSED), within the Direction Générale des Étrangers en France (DGEF) at the French Ministry of the Interior. I am also a Research Affiliate at LEM (UMR CNRS 9221) University of Lille, the Global Labor Organization (GLO) and the Institut Convergence Migrations (ICM).

I obtained my PhD in economics, with the European Doctorate Label, from University of Lille (LEM UMR CNRS 9221) in September 2025. I was a visiting scholar at KU Leuven in Fall 2022, supported by the MOBLILEX grant.

Prior to my current position, I was a research and teaching fellow at the University of Lille.

My fields of interests are migration economics, labor economics, political economy and applied econometrics using the statistical software Stata, R Studio and Python.
