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 research and teaching fellow 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 environmental conditions, health policies, and migration dynamics shape health and educational outcomes over the life course, using quasi-experimental methods and rich administrative, survey, and geospatial datasets. A related strand of my work investigates household responses to climate variability, including the role of migration in fostering adaptation.
