I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Sciences Po Paris, working under the supervision of Benjamin Marx and Pierre-Philippe Combes. This year I am based at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics on a PhD fellowship.

My research interests are in development, urban and environmental economics. At a broad level, I am interested in the interactions of rapid urbanization with governance and state capacity in lower and middle income countries.

I am on the 2024/2025 Job Market
