I received my PhD in Economics from HEC Lausanne in 2022. During my doctoral studies (2017-2022), I worked there as a fully funded Graduate Assistant. From 2022 to 2026, I was a Junior Research Fellow (Postdoc) in Economics at the University of Cambridge, where I also served as a co-lecturer and college supervisor. Additionally, I was a member of the Governing Body of King's College, Cambridge between 2022 and 2026.
