I am an assistant professor in political economy at the University of Montreal in the political science department since 2006. Previously, I spent one year (2005/06) at the European University Institute in Florence (Italy) as research post-doc fellow. I have defended my Ph.D. thesis in economics at the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne within the Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne (CNRS) in 2004. My research interests range from political economy to public policies without neglecting defense policies, State and statistical methods. I teach courses in Political Economy, International Political Economy and Statistical methods.
