Dimitri Dubois, a CNRS research engineer at CEE-M, has been awarded his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) with the jury’s highest honours. This qualification is essential for supervising doctoral research in France.
His HDR defense, titled “Experimental Engineering and Economic Behaviour: Decision-Making and Cooperation Mechanisms in Response to Societal and Environmental Challenges,” took place on November 3, 2026. The jury included Agnès Festre (Chair and Examiner), Béatrice Boulu-Reshef (Rapporteur), François Cochard (Rapporteur), Fabrice Lelec (Rapporteur), Angela Sutan (Examiner), and Paolo Crosetto (Examiner).
Furthermore, two PhD students from CEE-M, Maël Jammes and Daniel Montoya, will defend their theses in November. Maël Jammes's thesis, titled “Pollution, Congestion and Inequalities: The Distributional Effects of Environmental Degradation,” will be defended on November 23, 2026, at 9:00 am in the Council Room of the Faculty of Economics. His PhD supervisors are Emmanuelle Lavaine (CEE-M) and Marion Davin (AMSE). His research examines the interactions between socio-economic conditions and environmental externalities, focusing on how different forms of pollution and congestion unequally affect households and workers.
Daniel Montoya's thesis, titled “Three Essays on Prosociality in Adversity,” will be defended on November 27, 2026, at 9:00 am, also in the Council Room of the Faculty of Economics. His PhD supervisors are Guillaume Cheikbossian (CEE-M) and Antoine Pietri (CEE-M). This thesis explores prosocial behaviors such as cooperation, altruism, and trust in contexts of adversity, risk, and uncertainty.
