About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the Université de Montréal and an affiliate of CIREQ. I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market. My doctoral work is featured in the Maison des affaires publiques et internationales scholar portrait (in French).

I study how public policy shapes competition, prices, and access in concentrated markets, from broadband subsidies in the United States to mobile money in Senegal. I answer these questions with structural models, and when the econometric tools I need don't exist, I build them.
