About

I am postdoctoral researcher in Economics at the Centre d'Économie de la Sorbonne, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Via a project funded by the ANR, I currently conduct experimental research to shed light on information aggregation in financial markets. In my PhD thesis, I analysed the effects and preferences over insider trading regulation. My academic background includes microeconomic fields, in particular game theory, together with behavioural economics and experimental economics. My passion for research is driven by the ambitious objective to archieve further insights in economies which suffer from informational imperfections. I try to fulfill a supportive role in this process towards more efficient markets. Specifically, I conduct fundamental research to analyse adviser markets, information procurement, the distribution of information, and insider trading.
