About me

Welcome! I am a third-year PhD student in Economics at the University of Lausanne (HEC Lausanne), under the supervision of Prof. Mathias Thoenig, Prof. Aurélien Eyquem and Prof. Mathieu Couttenier.

I specialize in international macroeconomics, international trade and quantitative spatial economics. More specifically, my research applies tools from these fields to study development and political economy, focusing mainly on conflicts, geoeconomics, and energy security.
