I am a development economist, studying issues related to poverty and social protection, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa. I am currently working as an Associate professor (Maître de conférences HDR) at Bordeaux School of Economics, University of Bordeaux, France. Previously, I have been Assistant professor in Economics at the University Mohammed VI Polytechnic in Rabat (2021-22), and in the department of Economics at Istanbul Technical University (2016-21), as well as a post-doctoral scholar in the department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis (2014-16). 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 am an Invited Researcher at J-PAL since 2023. 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 in low-income settings, and in the impact of development interventions in contexts characterized by multiple shocks. I have also been studying extensively the selection of beneficiaries of social programs (targeting) in these environments. My work has been influenced by my involvement in development projects, which pushed me to study issues related to risk, cash transfers and index-based insurance among other issues. I care deeply about quantitative and qualitative data collection, and greatly enjoy conducting fieldwork.
