I am a development economist, studying issues related to poverty and social protection, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa. I was an Assistant professor in Economics at the University Mohammed VI Polytechnic in Rabat, Morocco, during the year 2021-2022. Previously, I have been an Assistant Professor in the department of Economics at Istanbul Technical University, and a post-doctoral scholar in the department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis. I also been collaborating with the World Bank since 2011, conducting analyses and providing policy and technical support in Cameroon, Niger, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo and other countries. I hold a PhD from Virginia Tech and an MA from Sciences Po.
My research focuses on the design and evaluation of poverty alleviation projects through empirical micro-economic studies. I am particularly interested in household's productive activities in rural areas, as well as in poverty definition, perception and dynamics. My work has been influenced by my involvement in development projects, which pushed me to study issues related to risk, targeting, cash transfers and index-based insurance. I care deeply about quantitative and qualitative data collection, and greatly enjoy conducting fieldwork.
