I am interested in corporate climate mitigation, and in particular how companies and governments can coordinate to ensure fair and efficient mitigation efforts. I want to investigate how to assess the credibility of corporate mitigation strategies accounting for local contexts and specificities while ensuring a rigorous and practical assessment. My research is funded by the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) Global Transition Centre Scholarship.
Since 2020, I have been working on environmental issues for a wide range of actors including policymakers, research institutions, and companies. In particular, I worked for Carbon4 Finance to assess companies' mitigation strategies and assist financial institutions in complying with a French regulation on sustainable Finance. Then, I worked for the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group at the University of Oxford on decarbonisation pathways for highly emitting sectors and on corporate transition plan dependencies. I also worked for the net zero regulation and policy hub to contribute to developing the Net Zero Policy Monitor.
I have a BSc in Economics and Management and a MSc in Management from ESSEC as well as a MASc in Data Economics and Development Policy from MIT.
