Dionissi Aliprantis is a Research Fellow at the Center for Economic Research on Governance, Inequality and Conflict (CERGIC) at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Lyon. He has written papers investigating topics such as early childhood education; how landlords, public housing policy, and wealth influence neighborhood sorting; how beliefs affect neighborhood formation; what drives changes over time in the racial wealth gap; and what approaches allow for the formal modeling and identification of neighborhood effects.

Aliprantis has also been involved with math education programs since 2011. As Founding Director of The Math Movement, he helps to run its summer camps and enrichment programs. This program supports local public schools, using math to build community and foster creativity among middle and high school students.

Aliprantis received a B.S. in mathematics and a B.A. in economics and Spanish from Indiana University in 2004, and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010.
