Hi! I am a PhD student at the CSL-MPG, in Freiburg, Germany.
Research Interest
I’m lost somewhere between social sciences, psychology and economics. For the moment, my PhD is dedicated to building a formal model to explain violence in deprived neighbourhoods. I’m also interested in history, where I made my bachelor. On my free time I develop the French website Gallicagram, of which you can find an outline here.
