Expertise
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Landscape Development of the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), where I contribute to research and teaching on landscape development and renewable energy, with a focus on their environmental, socio-economic, and policy dimensions. I am also a research fellow at the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association (EMEA).
Before joining EPFL, I worked as a researcher at EMEA from 2022 to 2024, where I supported the implementation of EU projects and conducted economic policy research on sustainability and the environment. Notably, I led the research for EMEA's participation in ReForest, a Horizon Europe project. In the spring of 2024, I undertook two research visits at the Cambridge Centre for Environment, Energy and Natural Resource Governance (CEENRG) and the Conservation Research Institute (CRI) in the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge, and at the University College London (UCL) Energy Institute of the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resource.
Earlier in my career, I worked as a data analyst at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) from 2020 to 2022. Prior to that, I interned in the Trade and Environment Division of the World Trade Organisation in 2019 and worked as a research assistant at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University of Oxford between 2018 and 2019.
Throughout my career, I have conducted both independent and collaborative academic research and policy work on a wide range of issues, including economic policies, international trade, energy and material resources, and climate change mitigation. I have also contributed to operational and data collection exercises in the humanitarian sector. My ambition is to conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of science, policy and society, and to contribute to the co-creation of new solutions to pressing climate, environmental, and socio-economic challenges.
