I am an Assistant Lecturer of Economics at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science, Cairo University. I hold a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and I am currently enrolled in a joint PhD program between Paris 1 and Cairo University. My main research interests include international trade and trade policy in developing countries. For instance, my doctoral thesis tackles the effect of environmental regulations on international trade in developing countries by focusing on different dimensions such as the impact on trade composition, global value chains and gender inequalities.
