Hi there ! I'm a postdoctoral fellow in International Relations at the Geneva Graduate Institute, an Earth Negotiations Bulletin writer, and the Earth System Governance Journal's Book Review Editor.
I hold a PhD degree in Political Science from Laval University (Quebec city, Canada), a Master’s in Management from HEC Paris, and a Master’s degree in environmental economics from Université de Bordeaux.
My research interests include global environmental governance, trade-environment politics, institutional design, and mixed-method research, as illustrated in my PhD dissertation.
I worked as a research assistant at the Canada research chair in international political economy between 2017 and 2022. I contributed building data sets of trade and environmental treaties and worked on several research papers relying on these data sets (more info here).
In 2022, I was awarded the Oran Young Prize from the Earth System Governance Project, which "seeks to reward and encourage cutting-edge research on earth system governance by early-career scholars who could become the next generation of leading scholars in the field of environmental governance research".
