With a doctorate in economics from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the ability to direct research, I have been a professor at ENSTA Paris since 2014. I am deputy director of the Applied Economics Unit - one of the school's six laboratories - and editor-in-chief of two academic journals: Économie Appliquée and Technologie & Innovation. In 2020, I participated in the creation of a spin-off from my laboratory: GraphMyTech.

Research topics

Economic dominance

I contribute to the development of the theory of economic dominance through the use of mathematical graph theory. Initially designed to study inter-industrial relations within national economies, I extend its scope by applying it to international trade and scientific and technical knowledge flows.

Technological innovation

The use of patent data enables me to produce complex multigraphs (directed, weighted, reflexive) on which I propose and apply dedicated metrics that reveal their shapes and transformations, and which can be used for prediction. Identifying the key players in a network of technological knowledge flows (companies or research centers, territories), the evolution of their cognitive specializations, mapping their R&D, anticipating the innovations they could be at the origin of: these are just some of the topics covered.

Teaching

I'm responsible for ENSTA Paris's entrepreneurship training courses: the customized Business Creation curriculum (3rd year) and the transversal Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship profile (3rd year). I also teach graph theory applied to the study of technological innovation processes in the Master 2 program at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
