Welcome to my website !
I am a second year PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Lausanne (HEC) under the supervision of Professor Kenza Benhima (UNIL) and Professor Sylvia Kaufmann (Study Center Gerzensee). I am also scientific collaborator at the Swiss Institute of Applied Economics (CREA) where I develop macroeconomic forecasting models for the Swiss economy. I have succesfully completed the Swiss Program for Beginning Doctoral Students in Economics at Study Center Gerzensee (Foundation of the Swiss National Bank).
I hold a dual master’s degree in Economics and Business Administration from the University of Lausanne (HEC).
My research lies at the intersection of international macroeconomics & finance, energy and geoeconomics. I study how financial market shocks and geopolitical events propagate through the global economy, drawing on a range of identification strategies—including high-frequency event-study methods and narrative-based approaches—together with structural time-series techniques to isolate and quantify exogenous shocks and trace their macroeconomic effects. I am also interested in advancing the econometric time-series toolkit itself, refining identification and estimation methods to better capture the dynamics of shock transmission and better forecasting.
My experience includes research positions as a trainee at the European Central Bank, at the National Bank of Romania. I was also economic consultant intern at Panthéon Recherche.
Outside academia, I am the author of the economics textbook “L’Economie en 60 graphiques” (2nd Edition), widely available in French bookstores and consistently ranked among the top 10 economics student books in France.
