I am a PhD candidate at the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and the École Normale Supérieure (ENS–PSL), under the supervision of Maël Lebreton and Nicolas Jacquemet.

My research investigates (pro)social behavior and belief formation using experiments. My job market paper studies the effects of prosocial motivations on the memory of a social interaction.

My doctoral work is integrated to PSE through the Opening Economics initiative, and generally owes much to both cognitive psychology and experimental economics.

In 2026, I was a visiting student at the Centre for Experimental Research on Fairness, Inequality and Rationality (FAIR, NHH), sponsored by Bertil Tungodden.

I will be on the econ academic job market in 2026–2027.
