I am a Postdoctoral Research Economist at the London School of Economics within the Centre for Economic Performance.

I am on the academic job market this fall 2024/2025.

My research interests are in intergenerational mobility, in particular its measurement and spatial variations, the underlying mechanisms and the policies that can help remediate such intergenerational inequalities. In this spirit, I have undertaken work on educational inequalities.

I obtained my PhD in Economics in Nov. 2023 from Sciences Po, under the delightful supervision of Pierre-Philippe Combes. During the 2022-23 academic year, I was a research fellow at PSE’s Education Policy and Social Mobility Chair.

You can find my CV here.
