Since December 2017, I have been working at KAPSARC in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I currently hold the position of principal fellow. My work focuses on developing economic frameworks to inform environmental and energy policymaking.
In addition to my research activities, I provide advisory input to Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy, contributing to strategic decision-making and policy formulation in the energy sector. I also served as a T20 task force advisor during the Saudi G20 Presidency in 2020.
Before joining KAPSARC, I held the position of associate professor of economics at the University of Paris Nanterre, where I taught courses in econometrics, energy economics, and environmental economics. Simultaneously, I conducted research at EconomiX-CNRS, participating in projects funded by organizations such as the European Renewable Energy Council and the French Energy Council. Earlier in my career, I worked as a researcher at the Galatasaray University Economic Research Center (GIAM).
I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne / Paris School of Economics and an M.A. in Economic Analysis and Modeling from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and École Centrale Paris. I also hold an HDR degree, which is a French accreditation to supervise research.
