What I'm looking for

I’m interested in integrating climate risk into insurance, banking, investment and development, especially across Europe and East Africa.

At Generali, I evaluated the vulnerability of residential buildings in mainland France to clay shrinkage-induced subsidence, using insurance claims data and comprehensive building criteria.

I developed a vulnerability scoring system, quantified the effectiveness of preventive measures, and contributed to updates of risk assessment grids and premiums for future policy underwriting.

Earlier, as a Graduate Research Assistant at Generali, I developed seismic hazard models and vulnerability maps for Monaco, and created tools to monitor insured portfolio accumulations.

At Cerema, I developed a dynamic seismic risk mapping tool using ArcGIS and Python. I’m interested in integrating climate risk into insurance, banking, investment and development, especially across Europe and East Africa.
