• Conduct data-driven research on the impact of climate risks on the valuation of infrastructure assets.• Developed a climate risk model based on some of the most robust financial, macroeconomic and climate scenario data, as well as industry leading asset pricing models. • Applied the climate risk model to produce EDHECinfra's climate risk metrics, to help investors and asset managers navigate the risks associated with climate change when making investment decisions.• Gave a 45 minutes conference at the EDHECinfra Day in London in December 2022, in front of over a hundred investment professionals. Attendees included CEOs, MDs, VPs, asset managers, risk managers…• Published 3 articles describing the climate risk model and estimating the potential losses that investors in infrastructure assets could face in the short to mid-term, due to climate physical and transition risks.

• Lead research to understand the resilience of communities to external threats (e.g, to COVID-19 lockdowns) by combining social network models and empirical surveys. • Published research findings in 2 papers at Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications.• Developed models of dynamic social networks undergoing a lockdown.• Simulated the effects of a lockdown on the dynamics of meetings in homo- or heterogeneous communities.• Studied the conditions under which such communities can become more resilient.

• Conducted research to identify mechanisms that govern social information use and its effect on both individual and collective decision-making. • Published 4 papers in top-profile academic journals, including journals of the Royal Society.• Developed elaborate data-driven models of the impact of various forms of social information on decision-making.

Toulouse, France

• Investigated the effects of information quality and quantity on individual and collective decisions, social influenceability and collective behaviour in human groups. • Published 3 papers at PNAS and journals of the Royal Society.• Developed elaborate data-driven models of both pedestrian behaviour and decision making under social influence.• Interned for the “Data mining on Twitter” project at the New York University’s Center for Data Science.• Completed collaborative research project at the University of Tokyo’s Social Psychology Lab.
