After a PhD in Economics at the University of Toulouse 1 Capitole defended in 2003 and a post-doc at the University of Strasbourg, I obtained a position as an Assistant professor at the University of Paris-Saclay in 2004 and then a mobility to the University of Bordeaux in 2008. I completed two research stays at Stanford University (Sept 2016-July 2017) and Monash University (June to August 2018). I'm now a full Professor in Economics since 2021.
I am doing my research at BSE (UMR CNRS - University of Bordeaux). In the past years, I studied how the organization of individuals (in inter-individual networks in particular) can affect their productivity or inventiveness. I'm also interested in science-industry relations and more recently in the impact of ANR funding on academic invention. I am currently working on the relationship between personality traits and preferences of researchers and their behaviors in science. A special focus is dedicated to the sources of gender bias in science. In my research, I mobilize quantitative analyses but also qualitative analyses (experiments, interviews, surveys, etc.).
I recently supervised the thesis of Elodie Carpentier, who is now a project officer for the European Commission. I am currently supervising Amal Boughnim's thesis on Gender Bias, Funding, and Choice of Topic in Science.
I currently teach microeconomics, industrial economics, economics of innovation and science, digital economics, and economics of social networks in the Bachelor of Economics and Management, the MIASHS Bachelor's degree, and several Master of Economics at the University of Bordeaux.
Between 2019 and 2022, I was Deputy Director of GREThA's ISI Program (Innovation-Science-Industry) and organized its research seminars. I was Director of Studies for the Bachelor's degree in Economics at the University of Bordeaux, and then Vice-Dean of the Economic Department until 2023. I am an elected member of the Board of Directors of the University of Bordeaux.
