I am an economist interested in applied micro-econometrics and human capital formation through education and health. I study how children’s human capital is shaped by their parents, teachers, and peers. I am also interested in how parental responses to education and welfare policies affect children’s outcomes.

Before joining the University of Melbourne, I was a postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Sydney. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Maastricht University in the Netherlands in March 2021, where I was supervised by Prof. Olivier Marie. I hold a M.Sc. degree in Statistics from Ensai in France, and a M.Sc. in Economics from Humboldt University in Germany.
