I am a Postdoctoral Research Economist at LSE's Center for Economic Performance, in the Education and Skills team. During the 2022-23 academic year, I was a research fellow at PSE’s Education Policy and Social Mobility Chair.

I obtained my PhD in Economics in Nov. 2023 from Sciences Po, under the perfect supervision of Pierre-Philippe Combes.

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 been undertaking work on inequalities in higher education.

You can find my CV here.
