I am a Senior Research Advisor in the Microsimulation Unit, Social Research Division, Department of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and an Affiliated Researcher at the THEMA Research Center (CY Cergy Paris Université, ESSEC Business School, CNRS).
My research focuses on population economics, particularly issues related to aging, pension and care systems, ageism, intergenerational equity, and public finance.
