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.

My research interests lie in historical political economy, land inequality, and the Middle East. I study the long-run evolution of wealth and political concentration in Egypt over the last two centuries. My dissertation looks more closely at the 1952 Revolution, which ended the monarchy and established the Arab Republic of Egypt, examining the effects of its land reform on land inequality and political power.

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.
