I am a Postdoctoral Scholar Teaching Fellow in Economic History at Caltech, based in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

My research lies at the intersection of economic history, historical political economy, and inequality, with a particular focus on land and the Middle East. My current research studies the long-run evolution of wealth inequality and political concentration in Egypt, and the political economy of land reform. I am particularly interested in understanding how major institutional and political transformations shape the distribution of economic and political power over the long run.

I completed my PhD in Economics at EHESS in July 2026, affiliated with the Paris School of Economics (PSE). My doctoral research was supervised by Thomas Piketty (PSE-EHESS) and Mohamed Saleh (LSE). 

I am also Co-director and Head of Data at the World Inequality Lab, where I contribute to projects aimed at deepening our understanding of global economic inequalities and informing policy solutions.

In Spring 2025, I completed a research visit at the London School of Economics (LSE) from February to May. Prior to that, I conducted a research stay at the Economic History Department of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) from March to May 2024.
