Welcome to my personal webpage,

Starting in September, I will be appointed as an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Lille and as a researcher at LEM. Prior to this position, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center within the Biodiversity Under Global Stress research unit; a Guest Researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; and an Associate Researcher at the Department of Economics at the University of Orléans.

My research spans econometrics, finance, and environmental and resource economics. I use large geospatial datasets and quantitative modelling to study how global ecological disruptions reshape capital accumulation and resource extraction dynamics. My methodological focus includes causal inference, predictive modelling, and geospatial analysis at scale.
