Welcome to my website!

I am a development economist interested in big data and new data sources and how they can help us answer development questions. I currently work at the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development. 

My research uses various types of mobile phone data to unveil new patterns of human movements that are otherwise difficult to capture with traditional data sources. I combine phone-derived mobility and migration measures with satellite imagery and survey data to investigate macro-development issues related to urbanization, spatial frictions and structural transformation. I also apply these data and methods to better understand the impact of climate on human mobility, in particular on temporary migration in Sub-Saharan Africa. 

I completed my PhD in Economics at Trinity College Dublin in 2023. I also hold an engineering degree from Ecole Centrale Paris and a MSc in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford. Prior to my PhD, I was a Disaster Risk Management consultant at The World Bank and worked on projects related to climate resilience, climate change adaption, food insecurity and adaptive social protection.
