I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. In October 2025, I will join LMU Munich as an Assistant Professor of Economics. I graduated with a PhD in Economics from the Toulouse School of Economics. My dissertation was awarded the Best PhD Dissertation prize from the French Economic Association (AFSE) and from the Council of Economic Analysis (CAE).
I primarily work on labor economics and econometrics, with a particular focus on inequalities in access to higher education.
I will be visiting Carnegie Mellon University from mid-October to mid-December and from mid-February to early April.
