I am Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Lille and a member of the Lille Economy Management research centre.

I am an applied microeconomist. My research lies at the intersection of education economics, behavioral economics and political economy. I study how individual behavior and social environments influence education, cooperation and public decisions. I combine laboratory, field and online experiments with administrative, survey and geospatial data.
