Armande Aboudrar-Méda is a junior research associate at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), where she applies geospatial data science and statistics to support urban climate adaptation. She holds a Master of Public Policy and a Master of Data Science for Public Policy from the Hertie School in Berlin, and a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Economics from Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL) University.

Previously, she was a research assistant at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), where she contributed to assessing the external costs of climate change at the European level and wrote her two Master’s thesis, one examining fossil-fuel price shocks and optimal climate policy, and the other studying the discrepancy between perception and provision of healthcare in inequalities in France, and the role of trust and ideology on these perceptions.

Her interest combines geospatial analysis, economic modelling, statistics, and machine learning to deliver quantitative insights for sustainable climate policy. Outside work, Armande enjoys cinema, music, and swimming in lakes.
