I am an economist studying the social and economic impacts of AI and our institutional responses to these transformations. My research builds new empirical infrastructures to measure AI’s real-world impacts and design evidence-based AI policies. To build these infrastructures, I rely on large-scale field experiments, AI simulations, and prediction markets as measurement instruments and develop academic-industry partnerships (including research programs and teams) with organizations deploying frontier AI systems.

I received my Ph.D. in economics from the Paris School of Economics and my Ph.D. in philosophy from the Sorbonne, both in 2023.
