I am Associate Professor of Economics and Management (chargé de recherche) at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), based at the Maison Française d’Oxford. I am also Associate Member of the Department of Economics and Nuffield College at Oxford, and the Grenoble Informatics Laboratory (LIG).

My research is on the analysis and design of markets, learning and equilibrium, the economics of identity and discrimination, and health policy. My work has contributed to policy and I have advised several countries and the European Union. My work was covered by The New York Times, The Economist, TIME, Financial Times, Nature, Le Monde, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, etc.

I hold a DPhil in Mathematics from the University of Oxford.
