Welcome to my website! I did my PhD in Economics at the Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne under the supervision of Dr. Pierre Kopp. After a postdoctoral associate position at the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, I have recently joined Stanford University as a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Billington Lab.

Research topics

My research covers a range of subjects, including the use of statistical and machine learning models in criminal justice policy, place-based analysis of crime, and data-driven community action. During my PhD, I worked primarily on predictive policing, conducting public policy evaluations of existing algorithms as well as microeconomic modeling of the potential feedback loops between predictive algorithms and policymakers. Following my PhD defense, I joined the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University as a Postdoctoral Associate, as well as the Newark Public Safety Collaborative as a Research Manager. I applied my expertise in crime modeling and place-based analysis to inform NPSC’s work through local interventions, with our main focus on supporting community-based organizations with data analysis and proposing local policies grounded in the existing social science and criminal justice literature. My research at Rutgers focused mainly on evaluating the effect of the built environment on crime outcomes, including studies on street lighting and violent crime, as well as engaging local stakeholders in the interpretation of crime concentration patterns to inform practice. I am leading and taking part in research covering the effect of environmental design on crime outcomes at a local level, the evolution of domestic violence following national policies, and comparative and situational studies of crime modeling algorithms for practitioners.

Research development

At Stanford, with the Billington Lab and partnering labs, I am now working on an extensive urban sensing system to study cities’ well-being and its relationship to crime and disturbances - including the effect of the ambient environment on unhoused individuals’ and community workers’. I am also leading a new research project focusing on the place-based analysis of the effect of architectural styles on crime outcomes at a local level.
