Hi!

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Lyon 2, France. 

In 2022, I worked as a lecturer at the Saint Etienne School of Economics, France. I have also held visiting scholar positions at the Department of Economics at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, in 2021 and again from January to March 2025. 

My research examines how migration dynamics, environmental conditions and health policies shape health and educational outcomes over the life course. A related strand of my work investigates household responses to climate variability, including the role of migration in fostering adaptation. 

Research interests:
