I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Sciences Po (Paris) and an Associate Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford University. I earned my PhD in Economics from the European University Institute (EUI).
At Sciences Po, I am a founding member and current director of the Human Agency Lab, an interdisciplinary research group studying the social impact of AI. The lab produces original research, data and open resources on how AI is reshaping human agency. Its goal is to speed up the dissemination of ideas, crowdsource insights, and encourage critical examination of the challenges that fast-paced technological change poses for all of us. The lab also publishes a weekly newsletter aimed at researchers (but free and open to the general public) summarising AI research and news.
My research focuses on applied microeconomics, using computational methods to examine how communication in media and digital platforms—particularly through non-verbal language—affects social norms. My work bridges political economy, health economics, behavioral economics, and cognitive economics.
At Sciences Po, I teach courses on "The economics of digital platforms and social media" and "Computer programming for economics research" at the Masters and PhD level. Previously, I held a Prize Postdoctoral Fellowship at Nuffield College, Oxford, where I taught quantitative methods for data analysis and causal inference.
