I obtained my PhD in Economics from Aix-Marseille School of Economics - GREQAM - Aix-Marseille Université in july 2015, before working as a post-doctoral research fellow at EconomiX - Université Paris Nanterre until august 2016. Then, I was an associate professor at Université Paris Est Créteil and ERUDITE from 2016 to 2022.
