I am an economic researcher affiliated to the Ecole normale supérieure - PSL. My research focuses on the economics of the energy transition, at the intersection of environmental and energy economics, technological change, and corporate transformation.
I was trained at the École normale supérieure, the Paris School of Economics, and HEC Paris. I worked on the EU Carbon Markets at the French Ministry of Economy, on residential energy efficiency and energy taxation at EDF, and on fossil-energy markets and stranded assets at Mines Paris. Finally, I worked close to Veolia Water and Purecontrol to study the implementation of AI on industrial facilities.
I am also the co-founder and president of Daniel Cohen Conferences. We organize high-level seminars gathering economists and public servants, and we interview policymakers and practitioners.

Research Statement
I am particularly interested in how regulation, finance, and new technologies affect firms’ energy use, production decisions, and decarbonization strategies. My work combines applied empirical research with close engagement with public institutions and firms.
