About

I am an economist with a PhD in Economics from the Centre d’Économie de la Sorbonne (CES) at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and remain a research fellow (“Jeune Docteur Associé”) there. Professionally, I am working at the World Meteorological Organization¹.

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 population patterns, urbanization, and investment networks by relying extensively on data-intensive high-resolution remote sensing products.

I hold a PhD and Master’s degree in Economics with a specialisation on Development Economics from University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The PhD was supervised by Prof. Lisa Chauvet.

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 Initiative.
