I hold a PhD from the Aix-Marseille School of Economics, supervised by Renaud Bourlès (Centrale Mediterranée) and Alain Trannoy (EHESS, AMSE).
In September 2026, I will join the Social Sciences, Economics and Humanities Cluster at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University as a Postdoctoral and Research Fellow.
I am a microeconomic theorist working at the intersection of public economics and political economy.
My primary research interests are the interactions between public policies and inequalities, mediated by behavioral biases.
