He was recently awarded the Aguirre-Basualdo Award from the chancellery of Paris Universities, a prestigious French prize awarded to a PhD dissertation in economics. Thomas completed his PhD in 2016 at the Paris School of Economics, working on the role of irreversibility of investment in competition (click here to read the abstract).
