About

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate at the Sorbonne School of Economics at University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne under guidance of Prof. Lisa Chauvet.

My research focuses on the multifaceted effects of climate change, particularly in developing countries and countries with lower climate resilience. I am particularly interested in understanding how complex natural hazard events, so-called compound events, affect local communities. In my previous research I investigated the nexus between extreme events and migration patterns, urbanization, and investment networks by relying extensively on data-intensive high-resolution remote sensing products. In addition to my primary research, I also study how governments and institutions can navigate financial challenges and implement effective climate policies in scenarios characterized by intense climate stress.

I hold a Master’s degree in Economics with a specialisation on Development Economics from University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from University of Mannheim.

In 2023, I was invited to visit the United Nations University at the Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS). In Spring 2024, I was awarded the Alliance Mobility Grant to visit Prof. Scott Barrett at Columbia University. Prior to my current assignment, I have consulted on projects at the World Bank, the International Finance Cooperation and the Munich Climate Insurance Initative.
