Postdoctoral Researcher in health economics

I am a postdoctoral researcher in health economics at Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE, Aix-Marseille Université).

My research focuses on how quantitative methods can support health decision-making, with applications in infectious-disease prevention, diagnostic strategies, and public health policy. I am particularly interested in the evaluation of health interventions, the behavioural drivers of uptake, and the production of evidence relevant to HEOR and economic evaluation.

Methodologically, I combine applied econometrics, patient preference methods, real-world and survey data to produce decision-relevant evidence in health. My work includes the design and analysis of stated-preference studies and the use of choice models to study preference heterogeneity and behavioural responses. I also use econometric modelling to analyse heterogeneous outcomes, policy impacts, and the relationships between behaviours, outcomes, and costs, with a growing focus on HEOR and economic evaluation.

I currently contribute to projects on improving the acceptability and accessibility of countermeasures against emerging epidemic threats (ACME, Institut Pasteur). Alongside this work, I am expanding my research toward economic evaluation, with growing interest in cost-effectiveness analysis, resource allocation, and the evaluation of health technologies in real-world settings.
